Can anyone help.. I have a 2005 polaris xcsp 500 (wifes sled) and the top of the chain case broke by the back brake mounting tab. I have removed the brake assembly, exhaust pipe, chain case cover,and chains and gears. Once the bolts have been removed can the chain case be removed without pulling the track and drive shaft out or do I have to do this to get the case off the shafts.

you can pull it off with both shafts installed just be carefull with re installation so you dont stab the seals i just did this about a week ago my 05 broke in the same place

you are going to want to loosen the track all the way before you try to remove the case. Otherwise the drive shaft will have pressure agaist it.

thanks.. Ive read that you need to loosen the tension on the track, then loosen the 3 bolts on the clutch side for the drive shaft. did you have to do that at all
