You need to purchase or borrow a clutch removal tool. You screw it into the clutch where it bolts to the crankshaft and the tool will pop it off. Check to see if the weights have been cutting into the center piece of the clutch...if so then you will probably need a whole new clutch. Usually when...
5 thousands of an inch is not that bad to get the head flat. I have read of many that were warped worse than that.
Is your truck stock? How many kms were on it when it blew the head gasket?
Now that you have repaired it you should be good for quite awhile unless you run some aggressive...
Ran 3 tanks of fuel through the quad and everything worked like new again...no more clicking. The front shaft u-joints should last a lot longer now that it can be greased. Easy mod when they start to wear out for you guys.
You bet! A bearing, seal or u-joint may fit thousands of applications. I have only found the odd one that one can not get except for at the dealerships. These u-joints are very common I found out today. They are used on lots of different steering shafts.
I forgot to mention that the front diff...
U-joints went in easilly. I coated the inside of the yokes with CopperCoat antisieze compound which may help in removing the cups in future. I will be coating many of the other parts as I continue assembling everything.
It will be a pain to grease the rear u-joint as it is behind the side of...
I found some greaseable u-joints today. Quaility Gear 5-170USQG
Fingers crossed that one can grease them after the driveshaft is in place. Hope they go in nice and easy!
Where in Edmonton would be a good place to try and get ujoints for my drive shaft rather than using OEM Polaris parts? Also, does anyone know if there may be ujoints for my drive shaft that have grease zerks? They are pretty small ujoints so there may not be enough room for a zerk on the...
I made some progress today. Fashioned up a redneck slide hammer by attaching a tie down strap onto the end of the cv shaft and tieing a 4 lb hammer to the other end. I few dozen swings and they both finally came out.
I used a 2 foot long punch amd the 4 lb hammer to start the roll pin moving...
I started to tear into my 06 Sportsman 500 today to determine what was clicking in the front end. The bearings and cv shafts are okay which leads me to believe that the plastic sprague sleeve in the front diff has failed. Any advice on how to remove the drive shaft roll pin and also to remove...
That and stay out of any artilary ranges. They are full of unexploded munitions.
They used to have a hunting draw for that base but not sure if they still do.
I carry some sticks of 2 part epoxy when we are out trail riding. You never know when you might skewer your rad with a tree branch. I was backing up once and a branch punctured the rad from the backside (which is not as protected as the front). Cleaned it up as best I could, dried it off and...
We were out there quading for the July long weekend. The river bed trails were washed away. We only did a bit of the canyon run as the trail system was basically gone. The rushing water tipped all the rocks one direction...traveling down stream was not too bad but coming back up stream the rocks...
I also did this mod. It only took about 5 minutes with a sharp knife. Well worth the cost. Too bad these trucks do not come with it but at least one can add the parts. Highly recommend this mod for 4th gen trucks!
We learned lots from some members here when we started looking at toyhaulers a few years ago. Purchased a used Forrest River 36 footer instead of buying a new trailer. Ended up spending about 1/3rd the price of a new one. Lots of good info in this thread...
Ask a mod nicely to move your post out of the Alberta favorite riding areas and into a Suzuki forum. Someone who knows may read your post there and know where to send you. Good luck with your repairs!
What ever you look at try not to be fooled by the flashy options like a stereo system or big screen tv. Instead, look for units that actually have place to put your muddy boots, helmets or hang your coats up without tracking mud around your trailer. You will find that there are very few...
