Primary Clutch Puller Tool to change belt on Kawasaki models: Prairie, Brute Force, Mule, Tyrx, KFX, KVF

On one of our recent fix it videos we performed a belt change on a Kawasaki Brute Force.  Having no repair manual and being a novice to the belt change on the Kawasaki's we ran into a problem when trying to remove the primary clutch.  Some folks claimed that the older belts could be rolled off the secondary clutch.  We tried this method and possibly could have removed it, but then we would still have to install the new belt and take a chance on damaging it or warping something else.  After some research we found a primary clutch puller on Amazon sold by MTC (part#: 57001-1429) for less than $22 shipped.  The puller had some good reviews, but you know the old saying, "You get what you pay for".  So I then looked into making my own puller, but couldn't come close to this price in purchasing the all thread alone.  When the puller arrived I threaded it into the primary clutch on the Brute Force.  A couple turns of the puller and the primary clutch popped right off.  With the primary clutch removed it could be positioned closer to the secondary clutch and the belt slid right off.  The primary clutch puller worked as advertised and there were no signs of damage to the tool.  When something works and it's a good value it gets passed onto our readers.  This video explains how to change the belt on a Brute Force with this tool.  MTC claims the puller works on the following Kawasaki models:
KFX700
KSF700
V-FORCE
KVF750i BRUTE FORCE 4X4i
KVF700
PRAIRIE 4X4
KVF650 BRUTE FORCE 4X4
