How to change Belt Kawasaki Brute Force or Prairie

How to change the CVT belt on a Kawasaki Brute Force or Prairie 360, 650, 750 and possibly other models. VIDEO HERE  If you're performance is starting to diminish or you're just replacing the belt at the service interval this video will take you through the job step by step. Before you get started you'll want to have these tools handy: primary clutch puller tool, impact gun, 19mm socket, 10mm socket, phillips screwdriver and breaker bar. We choose to install a Gates G-Force belt, part# 19G3218. Start by removing the belt exhaust via the clamp located above the CVT Cover. Next remove the eight 10mm bolts retaining the CVT belt cover.  Once the cover is removed you'll be able to see the primary clutch (the one that sits toward the front of the Brute Force). Remove the 19mm bolt, these are reverse threads, so you'll have to tighten it to remove it. Next thread in the clutch puller tool ($23 on Amazon.com) and wedge something in the clutch basket to keep it from turning, careful not to damage the basket.  Next tighten the 19mm clutch puller and you'll hear a pop as the basket releases from the shaft. Pull the basket straight out and over to the provide slack to work the belt off both the primary and secondary clutches.  Install the new belt and perform the process in reverse to complete the job.
