Remove all OEM drive train components and thoroughly clean the inner primary. Inspect the inner primary for cracks or other damage. The serrated plate must remain in place if you are installing the 11 mm Brute II Classic (as shown). It may be removed if you are installing the 8mm Brute Classic.
Install the KEY in the KEYWAY ensuring that it is correctly seated and oriented so that the clutch hub will slide into place on the trans­mission main shaft. If you cannot seat the key correctly, check for burrs on the key or keyway, deburr as needed and reinstall.
Install the clutch hub / rear basket assembly on the main shaft, and the front pulley on the motor shaft. Hand tighten the nut on the main shaft. Hold a straight edge firmly against the inner surface of the ring gear as shown. The outer edge of the front pulley must line up with the inner surface of the ring gear as shown before proceeding. Spacers can be inserted or removed behind the front pulley to achieve correct pulley alignment.
After correct pulley alignment is established, install the belt on the pulleys, slide the pulleys into place taking care that the KEY is cor­rectly seated in the KEY WAY (rear pulley-hub assembly). Place a dab of Rivera’s thread lock (blue) on the threads of the clutch hub nut prior to permanently installing the nut. Tighten the clutch hub nut using a high-quality torque wrench & the factory torque specifications for your particular motorcycle. Repeat the procedure for the motor shaft nut.
