Thank you. When you pulled that seal and I saw all that shrapnel in there, I said, "Yep, that's all the pieces I found on my frame!" My seal had come out of the housing. Your videos are really going to help me out.

So many times, there is no oil in the Demand Drive. The way things are getting banged around maybe Polaris should put an itty bitty dipstick angled downward from the passenger side. Threaded & easy access.
Hmmm, I bet I could figure a way to do that from the vent hole, other side with a zip tie slid in or some such!

Or a sight glass

@@truck-tek Maybe if out of the way, IDK about flying rocks. To me it's amazing these differentials take the abuse they do, without oil nothing will last. Make it easier to check would be a good step.

I can't get the shaft and bearing out... it catches. Yours slid out so easy. What can I try?

[@truck-tek]

Can you get a small wood hammer shaft behind the gear and lever it out or a tap with a brass punch and plenty of wd40. It should then just pull out. Have you taken out the retaining clip?
