Product Overview
Changing a Defender CVT belt is easier and safer when the secondary clutch is spread with the correct threaded tool instead of a pry bar. Can-Am used different clutch designs, so the thread and roller style must match first.
The tool threads into the compatible secondary clutch to spread the sheaves and release belt tension. Can-Am used different two-roller and three-roller clutch designs across years.

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Count the secondary-clutch rollers and compare the tool thread, tip, and service procedure. A belt-change tool is different from a primary clutch puller.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a primary clutch puller? A: No. It is for spreading the secondary clutch during belt removal.
Q: Why does roller count matter? A: Two- and three-roller clutches can use different tools.
Q: Can a screwdriver replace it? A: Prying risks damage to sheaves, belt surfaces, and hands.
Q: Should the belt direction be marked? A: Yes, if a used belt will be reinstalled in the same running direction.
