Full Version: Clutch tool for Polaris P85 needed
Invision Power Board > General > Sled talk
Dick Peloquin
Anyone have a removal tool for a '97 Polaris P85 clutch for sale / rent / borrow? Sled is the 700 triple. Should come off fairly easy as it's only a year old but needs a thorough cleaning after an old belt meltdown.

I think I have the correct puller. My pro-x has a p-85 clutch but it is an 03'. You are more than welcome to borrow it, but as the old saying goes "you break it you bought it"

shop trick: to avoid breaking the clutch tool.
Instead of threading in the tool and continuing to tighten it until the clutch pops try this.
Tighten the tool good and snug, and with a 3lb hammer, give one good rap on the head of the tool and the clutch will fall off the taper nice and easy.
I learned this trick from a mechanic across the street from me when me and Sal1010 were trying to remove his clutch to change the weights.

You will avoid potential strippiing of the theads and less likely to have a problem removing the clutch.

Good way to damage the crank. You don't have to remove the clutch to change the weights. Just use a regular screwdriver to close the clutch and then slide a weight you are not using just next to the rollers in the spider. Makes changing weights a snap. You can do all three in 5 minutes.

I'm still looking for the tool if any of you guys have one.

Pro-X was kind enough to meet up with me and offer his but it was the wrong one.
