Installing tki belt drive into my 2018 XF High Country 141, short chain case, not extended mountain case. it has hollow upper jack shaft utilizing the two piece press fit nut retainer system in the jack shaft.
the directions say to apply a layer of thin grease to the sliding mating surfaces, and their provided green loctite to the outside of the insert, where it will contact the inside diameter of the shaft. I cleaned out the inside shaft with electrical connector cleaner, and dried it with paper towel. I drew the nut, into the holder flush, waited over an hour installing other items. but, after attempting to torque the upper pulley bolt, I cant get the bolt to tourque to the desired 20 ft pounds, it just spins. to me it feels like the inner nut portion, is spinning on the outer portion, due to the grease. I dont think the insert is spinning in the shaft contact area. (but, I could be wrong). I think this was a bad idea to introduce a lubricant, into something you dont want to move. but, that is just my thought.
1: I am assuming the bolt/washer tightened to the pulley, will spin with the pulley on the shaft? if so, it would be spinning in the direction of tightening, could I monitor the bolt for backing out while riding, if I cant get it to the 20 ft pounds? is this a good idea?
2: how can I easily remove the insert and try to install another one? or is there some way I can lock the insert after the fact?
3: the upper pulley seems stuck to the jack shaft now, how do I remove the pulley, and not hurt it?
We drove to the sled (500 miles one way), as it is stored at our sledding location. I went to install this on friday, was almost done, and realized, I had received the wrong oil tank. tki is trying to make it right but, they are out of the shop right now, and I just need some questions answered, and thought you guys might have had a similar thing happen, and a solution.
all help, appreciated. Ski
