IIRC the XP needs the jackshaft & secondary pulled together then you can access the the 4 allen bolts on the inside of the inner sheave that hold the secondary to the shaft.
Remove both side panels.
Behind secondary there is a plate which holds bearing inside secondary clutch tower, A ratchet wrench makes it easy. 1 bolt.
POP off the upper chaincase plug, remove bolt from end of shaft.
Find a deep socket,slightly smaller than the splined shaft. attach this to an extension.
Warm up clutch tower with a heat gun, go to the other side and tap socket/extension lightly to slip shaft out.. LEAVE socket inside until you are ready to reinstall.
Slide out shaft. It's pretty easy once you figure it out.
If you pull the socket out, you will have to remove the chaincase cover to retrieve upper gear.
It can be done by yourself but a little easier with a helper.

Ya they come out no problem without pulling the engine. Remove the air box's and you will have plenty of room.

Pull the raves and Y-pipe off gives you lots of room carb boot stay on.

There is a shim behind the gear. If you drop that, same as dropping the gear...take cover off.

Wicked trick for pulling the primary clutch no special tools needed only a little bit of water: Step 1. tip the sled on its side and pull the primary clutch bolt out (obvious alert:belt should be off at this point)
Step two: wrap a healthy amount of teflon tape on the threads and fill up the cavity that the bolt goes into with water (has to be distilled).....Just kidding
Step three: put the clutch bolt back in and tighten until the clutch pops off ( be careful it could jump pretty hard)
This works on my 2012 E-tec I can't see why it won't work on most other sleds

People have been doing this for years.
If you want to make it easier on yourself, don't tip the sled on its side before you remove the primary bolt.

I just put a d.j kit in mine.
Didn't have to remove shaft. Got the stupid torx bolts out , helix in and regular gm 3.1 intake bolts back in ( right length and size lol )
Used 2 long bolts to pull the helix close to getting the other ones started , used a bar to move just a bit more to get the other bolts started...
Pain to get the other bolts out after as they were long but got it.
Now just have to mark and pop primary off ( marked as I have indexed my primary cause it does work )
To install primary spring and arms with weights.

That sounds way easier than taking out the two bolts and hitting the jackshaft through and having to then work on it on your bench with the proper tools.

Lol no kidding. As far as the secondary goes I always replace the torx with hex bolts that way I can use a ratcheting 12mm wrench to remove very quickly while still on the sled

I don't think many will sense your sarcasm.
I timed myself last night as I was pulling the reeds on my sled and it is easier to pop off the secondary.
Belt off, Two springs off on the can, bolts out of the chain case as I was changing the fluid anyways, top gear off, bolt out of retainer, whacked with the dead blow, under 3 mins.
Yup I would much rather find a more convoluted way than that.

you are going to have to video this 3 minute procedure to convince me it's easier than screwing in the spring compressor and removing 4 bolts.I don't think many will sense your sarcasm.

okay next time, but I didn't say it was easier than removing it once you replace the torx bolts. I don't bother replacing my bolts, and what Tex did is in no way the easy way to do things. The lazy way maybe. Removing the torx bolts while still having the secondary in the sled because you can't be bothered to pop it out? The end result will provide easier access down the road sure by having hex head bolts put back in.
