pull the diamond drive,and dont forget the long bolt from the brake rotor side
remove the lock nut on the brake rotor,undo the brake rotor half and remove
rotor,then remove the 5 nuts holding the bearing assemblt holding the track shaft,and drop your rrear suspention,6 beer job about 1.5 hr by yourself

A long extension thats about it and i do belive the diamond drive has those hex keys so be careful not to strip them. I switched my track last year and took me about 2 hours and a case of beer.

Its also a good idea to take your cover off of your diamond drive while its out and inspect everything.

Don't need the long extension on the '05, they had the long bolt. Be prepared...it'll go bang when that bolt breaks loose and you'll chit yourself!
