I do believe this is what you are looking for! :2thumbs: I found it in the Drive System section of my 2014 RT Service Manual.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Another Rear Wheel Bearing question..... The BIG FUNKY NUT!

Thank you Idaho, That's pertinent information, 15ft #lbs, will try to etch that in my head for future reference.

Yes Sir, Thank you.....that is the culprit! Mystery solved.:2thumbs:
Ironically, I was looking at 2014 Service Manuals online today, thinking YEP, I definitely need one. I love being a DIYer, when I can. My previous ride was a 2012 Honda 600 Silver Wing Trike, and I enjoyed tinkering with that as well. Only difference was.... I had a Service Manual.
Thank you once again....... you are the man! :bowdown:
p.s. Does it by chance state what tool is used for removing that Nut? Just curious if it does.

I made a wrench for that nut the last time I had a wheel apart. I just used a piece of 1/4 plate steel - cut to fit into opposite grooves, welded to a piece of 1/2 square bar. The bar is maybe 8” long so a gentle snug won’t apply too much torque. Here’s a couple photos:

The great feeling you get by being able to refer to a service manual is second only to that from the activity you enjoy with a woman! Go to www.canammanuals.com.
No tool is mentioned in the 2014 manual, but it is shown in the 2013 manual! This is just one example of many inconsistencies that exist in BRP's documentations, within a specific document and between successive years of documents.
The tool MSRP is $68.99 but you probably can't find one! I would try using a Channellock pliers. Just drop the jaws into the notches.

Or you could try a few gentle taps with a a softish drift to loosen it enough to get it out; and a few taps the other way to tighten it up enough after putting it back in.
. But I'd suggest NOT using a cold chisel like that!

Idaho, Thanks for the diagrams, and the canam manual link. Made sure I saved them all for future reference.
I did see on ebay there was such a tool listed, but I think for the price I will use my own ingenuity and invent one. Your channel lock suggestion sounds like it would work as well. I was thinking a piece of cross steel inserted across the slots and a Crescent Wrench. Seeing the nut is torqued so low it wouldn't take much effort to remove and reinstall it.
Glad to see the ingenuity of creative ideas being mentioned here. It's amazing what we can accomplish and invent when we want to save some bucks for ourselves! :thumbup: Along with your diagrams, those diagrams helped many of us, I'm sure.
Thanks again.

Great idea! This is something similar to Spyder Stuff's invention he made in his video ( @ approx 4:32 ) with the exception he welded a Bolt onto his steel piece to be able to use a ratchet. Such ingenuity!

Both great ideas.

& another when mine failed suspect from impact with large Road patch. More details in thread, definitely keeping some spare in hand considering parts delays as of recent.

Good Afternoon everyone. Just wanted to take a moment and Thank everyone for their contributions, input, and participation with my quest to find the answer to this Funky Nut.
Your input was invaluable :bowdown:, and we actually found out what, and how, to tackle ( with a little ingenuity ) this culprit should any of us need to.
Once again......... Thank You, All. Great Work! :thumbup:
