One trick I've done to help get the nut off the clutch weight pin is to grind one side of a 10mm socket so it goes over the nut and butts up to the tower.
Man, I got the tool and smashed my hand more times then I’d like to admit attempting to remove/replace the bushing. So I rewatched this, copied your technique and got her easy! Thanks again for this and your other diy vids. Super helpful
I have 340miles on ssi adjustable weights, I noticed my bushings are already worn. This is an awesome video on why it happens and how to replace the bushings. Thanks for making the one to make this!
Excellent video! One of the best points was support your local dealer. As handy as buying online is, it’s really hurting the guys we buy our toys from.
Nice job. On the no spray on components. I've been using crc silicone spray on all bushings religiously for years. I've put Over 6,000 miles on clutches with virtually 0 wear. If it works, use it.
Yea, supposed to be dry lube. When we bought our first cats 25 years ago we were told to spray with a similar lube before each ride. I think the rational is anything wet from a spray on lube will stick dirt and grime to it, possibly increasing wear. Since we don’t ride sled in dirty, dusty environments it’s probably not much of a issue.
That is the question of the century!!! The Polaris manual says to not use an impact, but they also say if it doesn’t come off easily to sledge hammer the end of the puller and it’ll “pop” off! Personally I don’t like to pound on the crank with a hammer, have been using an impact wrench for years. Impact is just so easy and quick.?
Quick question is there supposed to be any kind of lubrication on the wights and rollers? And if so what would you recommend. Would brake caliper grease work because of the graphite content?

That’s a great idea, thanks.
Absolutely amazing video man, thank you SO much for your time and willingness to share your knowledge!!!
Thanks for the feedback!

Unfortunately some wear out faster than others. Good to check them every once in a while. If left too long it’ll be more costly to repsir

Thanks. Yea, the dealers really need our support, especially the few little guys who are left.
Don’t know if I’ve ever learned so much from one video, lol great video.
Thank you for the support!
Excellent video! I really appreciate this 👍
Thanks, more to come. There’s a lot of pretty easy stuff to help your sled perform at its best
Excellent and informative video. Well done thank you!
Thanks!

Good video, do you use an impact to get the primary off with a puller?

Or I use the “water method” for really stuck clutches. Thanks

No lube on any of the clutch parts. Any lube you put on there has a chance of getting on the belt and causing slipping in the sheaths.
@@mountainsleddergarage8627 ok good to know
