Hello

An old mechanics trick is to put the puller in till it is very tight, make sure you lube the threads so it can't sieze. You will know you got it tight when it won't turn holding clutch with one hand and wrench in other. Take a soft hammer like a dead blow or a brass hammer, no steel or you hurt the puller, and hit the end of the puller straight on. Should cause the crank to move away from clutch when it is hit. We do it all the time to remove fly wheels. There is a clutch tool that uses this technic to pop them off, it threads into the crank instead of the clutch.

Good luck, let us know how it goes.

No tranny and the one I got won't fit your unit. I think my engine is the same as yours but it isn't going back into a polaris. :eek:

The quad it came from had a tranny problem too, so bad it was cheaper for the fellow to part out the machine and buy a differant one. I got the whole engine with clutch and brains for a song.

Hope you do better than he did. Try the wrecker north of the yellowhead about 159st. When I was in for parts a week or two ago he just got a bunch of pol parts from a dealer going under.

Good luck.

PS: you got any tools for opening the clutch? I got one I need to set the belt width on.
