Do a Google search for video and pics of polaris clutches. There's a bunch out there showing how to make special tools and how to use them.

 

Thank you for the reply. Do you know of a way to disassemble it while it was on the machine.

 

I would assume your machine is very similar to mine(sportsman 500) The secondary clutch comes off real easy. Just remove the center bolt and it should slide off on a spline. Taking it apart is where you need some tools. Below is one I made to do just that. Good luck.

 

Welcome to the board!:med:

 

No, you can't disassemble the drive clutch spider without taking it off the machine as far as I know.

 

Well .......the "buttons" you are talking about are in the "secondary" (rear) clutch.

The "primary" clutch (drive) is fairly easy to take apart but you need 3 more "special tools. You can make those too. It has to be taken off the bike to totally disassemble. For example the "spider" is on there with about 185-200 foot pounds of torque. I can show you the tools I made, if you want to make them......OR you can buy them.
What is wrong with your drive clutch that you want to take it apart?

 

I have to replace the rubber backed bumper pieces and the bushings (#6 on the schematic). I was just trying to get around a few of the special tools if possible-I'm as lazy as the next guy.

 

OK.....I see what you're talking about for the primary clutch. I replaced the buttons when I rebuilt mine also, and a lot of other things.
We're all lazy sometimes, but if you're lazy with no money , you're in trouble! I made my own tools because I can't pay someone big money to do my work for me. Plus I enjoy tinkering! Below are the tools (and pics) you will need to buy or make.

Clutch puller , Spider tool , Hold down tool

You better have a long "cheater" bar to turn the spider off.....It's on there pretty good!
