I streched the pinion, but failed to loosen the nut. I think I'm a guy with good power so I won't break or bend something. Can you give some good ideas how to do it without damage?
..from looking at that first pic, i dunno, but it looks fukd up already, bro...
..no, just kidding..lol...you can remove the variator nut by wedging a screwdriver, or such object, between the drive face teeth and the cvt casing..
..get a 17mm wrench or socket, and pull up, counterclockwise....firmly....
