Thanks to Dan Kelly at Bronco Products - We had a Bronco Dry Clutch for our 660 Rhino. Its been sitting here for a few weeks and today I decided to put it on! I apologize as this isn't a FULL Pictorial step by step as I forgot to take pics of a few things, but better than nothing.
First off - strip the rhino down. I removed both front seats, the engine plastic cover, both lower plastic panels around the motor, the seat base angled steel pieces, and the front motor support. You need to unbolt the parking brake and gear shifter from the motor support first, as well as undo the plastic clips that hold the airbox to it.
Then, unbolt the clip holding the coolant line in place right at the front of the motor, and push the tube down. This will allow you to remove the clutch plastic cover when it is unbolted. Remove those bolts (about 10), and pull it out through the tubes under the seat and set aside.
Next you will see the metal cage around the primary clutch side. Remove that - 4 bolts and make sure to watch the 1 alignment dowels that will come out. Set that aside.
You should be looking at this:
Next unbolt the secondary sheave (27mm bolt) and the primary sheave (30mm bolt maybe? Dont remember). You will notice when you try to remove the secondary you cant, because it hits the seat frame.
Do this:
Strap to a hole on the cylinder head hole and to the passenger side of your cage and crank it down, itll tilt the motor to the pass side and give you the clearance you need to remove it. Then remove the primary sheave.
So you will have this:
Then remove the back half of the plastic cover:
and you will have this!
Now the time to drain your oil and remove filter. 17mm drain plug underneath, give it a few minutes to drain.
Remove the 9 I think bolts that hold on the primary wet clutch housing. Oil will come out so remember to drain first! There are 2 locating dowels under that housing, make sure to save them.
After its removed, scrape the seal area to get all of the old gasket off.
