FBULWSEC Clutch Spreader Tool for Can-Am Maverick X3 & Defender — Black CNC Aluminum, Fits 64"/72" Wheelbase

A precision CNC aluminum clutch spreader that safely separates driven sheaves to remove CVT belts from Can-Am Maverick X3, Defender and related models.

This dedicated clutch removing tool (part numbers 08200720 / 529000088 / 708200686) is designed to simplify belt replacement on a range of Can-Am off-road vehicles. Machined from anodized aluminum for corrosion resistance and durability, the tool engages the secondary clutch, expands the sheaves and holds them open so the belt can be removed without damaging the clutch faces or belt. It fits common X3 and Trail/Sport model years and wheelbase widths listed below, making maintenance faster and more reliable than improvised methods.

Which Can-Am models and wheelbases does this spreader fit?

This spreader is compatible with multiple Can-Am families across several years, covering X3, Trail and Sport variants. Confirm fit by checking the listed part numbers and the vehicle’s wheelbase specification.

• 2017–2020 Can-Am Maverick X3 / X3 MAX / X3 MAX R / X3 RR
• 2018–2019 Can-Am Maverick Trail 800R / Trail 1000R / Trail 1000 DPS
• 2019–2021 Can-Am Maverick Sport 1000R / Sport Max 1000 / Sport Max 1000R
• Designed to work with 72" and 64" wheelbase widths

How does the tool work and is it easy to use?

The spreader installs onto the driven (secondary) clutch and uses a screw to force the sheaves apart, creating enough clearance to slide the CVT belt off. It eliminates guesswork and reduces risk of nicking clutch surfaces compared with prying or hammering.

• Mount tool to clutch housing, tighten clamp for a secure fit
• Insert and turn the central screw to open the sheaves steadily
• Remove belt once sufficient clearance is achieved
• Reassemble easily after belt replacement

What materials and build quality should I expect?

This model is CNC-machined from aluminum alloy and finished with anodizing to improve surface hardness and resist corrosion. The construction balances strength with light weight so the tool is durable without being cumbersome in the garage or trail-side.

• CNC-machined aluminum alloy body for precise tolerances
• Anodized finish for wear resistance and rust protection
• Robust screw mechanism for controlled spreading force
• Long service life under routine maintenance use

Will using this tool protect my clutch and belt during service?

When used correctly, the spreader reduces the chance of scrapes and accidental damage that can occur with makeshift tools. It provides a controlled way to separate sheaves, helping preserve clutch surfaces and extend the lifespan of replacement belts.

• Prevents pry-bar marks and uneven force on clutch faces
• Enables smooth, centered belt removal and installation
• Minimizes handling time and reduces human error
