There is a polaris puller you have to have to do this. I got my puller off Ebay.

you need a clutch puller that goes into the center where you took the bolt out. it WILL NOT come off any othr way w/ out damaging the clutch.

If you are handy, you can make your own puller with 9" long piece of 3/4" <u>FINE </u>thread rod and two nuts jamed or welded to the end.

When I had my clutches removed by the dealer he used an air drill for the primary,and a slide hammer for the secondary.

Just the old clutch puller, fat and stubby, after you break the primary off, make sure you use some Emory cloth to clean the cranks shaft up

the secondary should just slide right off. its on a coarse splined shaft. very easy to remove. but you will need a puller to get the drive clutch off. whether it be a homemade one or a storebought one. that bolt in the middle is torqued around 50 ft lbs. take that pressure over a couple of heat/cool cycles and its stuck pretty good.

Eggenz7,

I just ordered the secondary clutch buttons and wanted to get some clarification on any special tools I will need to install them.

Anything else I need to check while I have it off?

Thanks,

Scott
