The one jumbofrank will fit and is about as cheap as any you can find on ebay or doing a google search.Seems all the aluminum cages are between 135-145 bucks. Won't hurt any internal parts in the diff. Plastic roller cages just couldn't take the stress.

Just hook up 12 volts to the coil and test that it has good magnetic pull against the armature plate. The armature plate is another thing I would replace if it appears warped or deep wear rings or if it is magnetized. Just hold a screw driver to the plate and see if it sticks. If in doubt about any part I'd replace it while you have it apart. Tough to have to go back into something twice.

Can't remember.. Take a rag and wipe around it. As long as it isn't scored I wouldn't worry about it as you can't replace it without replacing the whole case side even though it shows it's a bushing.No part number listed for it on Polaris Parts Catalog.
