Sportsman 500 AWD problems

[Texas251]

I have a 2002 sportsman 500 with the AWD on the handle bars. I had to put it into AWD when I got in some deep water and was not at an idle speed as I was supposed to be. I see threads on the roller cage breaking. The atv will roll but pulls hard to the right. Could this be the same problem as i have been reading about with the roller cage breaking. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like it..... Take it apart and look.

Have you tried backing up a ways, sometimes those clutches stick and reversing the machine helps.

Thanks for the information. I will try that after I take it apart.

I took it apart and it ended up being the CV joint. Im going to order one and replace it. Also the front main drive shafts u joint seems loose. What the easiest way to remove the drive shaft from the front differential and rear casing.
