I can see where there may be some confusion with which way the drive clutch retaining bolt gets removed,
So... here's a little clarification on Club Car drive clutch retaining bolts!
From 1996 to 1997, Club Car changed the rotation of the engine from counter clockwise... to clockwise!
and the drive clutch retaining bolt threads must be
opposite of the engine rotation in order for it to not spin itself loose!
1985 to 1996 (counter clockwise engine rotation) ~ Standard SAE (or right hand) threads.
1997 to the present (clockwise engine rotation) ~ Reverse (or left hand) threads.
So technically, Scottyb was correct with left hand threads on his 2000 CC! and his post will
not be removed.
You need to keep in mind of
the year of your Club Car in order for you to determine which way your drive clutch retaining bolt will remove!
The drive clutch "Puller" uses a different set of threads, and is standard SAE (right hand) threads on all years.
The driven clutch has a key, and is not pressed on like the drive clutch, so that bolt will also be standard SAE threads for all years.
Hope this helps!
