I was getting my 2004 Polaris Edge Touring ready for he season this past weekend, and while greasing the jack shaft it occurred to me that I have never taken the belt off. I might be missing something but the sheeves will not spread with the tool. I can't see anything else that would need to be loosened. What gives? Can it seize? Could use some ideas guys.
Polaris TEAM clutch seized?

Lift the rear of the sled from the ground, get the sled started and slowly open the throttle to engage the clutches. See if it opens up this way as a starting point, may need to be removed and serviced.

The sleds moves fine, tore up the yard and loaded it onto the trailer.
The tool just wont open the clutch. Its a different clutch than my other trail touring. That clutch opens easy with little or typical effort.

In that case it isnt seized, tough to diagnose any further from here i think.

You need the tool or a bolt, there's a threaded hole in the front of the clutch, thread the tool in and it spreads the sheaves.

That's the issue, the tool goes in but it won't go in enough to open the sheaves. I don't want to force it any further fearing a broken tool or stripping the threads. It feels like it's hitting and pushing against something that won't budge. There is absolutely no play or movement like a normal clutch.
