I dont use a spring compressor. The 900 clutch is very similar to the 570 setup. I work on many of both and have had no need for a compressor.I have a 2016 570xp full size crew-6. I had a problem that requires replacing the primary and secondary. The back side of the bolt hole of one of the weights broke out, and the piece caused some denting in the sheaves. I decided to buy a new Polaris primary and secondary assembly. The secondary (#1323119 ) is totally complete, ready to bolt into place. The primary (#1323255) came assembled, less the black spring (#704359 ), spacer (#5438823), and three 25-52G weights (#5632409). So here's my question...
Since I was able to install the weights without removing the spider, is it safe to assume the spider was fully torqued to spec when it was put together at the factory? I don't really want to deal with the 295 ft/lb issues if there's no need to check it.
As an FYI for everyone, my ranger had 700 hours and 8975 miles before I had any problem. The weight with the broken out hole was jambed in the spider area, limiting my top speed to about 35 mph. Normally, it would easily hit the governed limit at 50 mph. Once I had pulled the primary, I could see there was another weight entirely missing! The hole must have broken out on that one too, and somehow it managed to get blown completely out of the CVT housing. I was a little surprised by that. One other thing, every clutch repair video I watched said you need a compressor to reinstall the primary cover. I was able to hold the moveable sheave up far enough (before it's trying to compress the spring), and get the six bolts started in the holes. It leaves me wondering if I done something completely wrong, or the 570 system is entirely different than a 900/1000.
Thanks

No need to torque spider. It is fine from factory.
