2006 Sportsman 500 H.O.-Does anybody know the easiest way of accessing the oil drain plug on the bottom of your motor. It's nearly impossible to screw the plug back in after draining the cup full of oil that remains in the motor when doing an oil change. The darn cut out on the skid plate ain't nearly big enough to get your hand into to put the plug back in. Also, if you don't have your front drive shaft turned the right way, the u-joint interferes with getting the oil plug lined up just the right way. Is there a certain kind of wrench that would make this any easier? Sorry to ramble on folks, I was just wondering. Thanks

 

Get your wife or kid to start the plug....(Smaller fingers)....Also with the polaris oil change kit I got two news washers one for there ...the other for the plastic oil tank!!!...Caper..........

 

Why can't you use a socket and extension to start the plug?

 

I think I had to use an open end wrench....Once it was finger tight!!!..The socket and frame opening do not line up I think!!!!!.....Caper.......Correct me if I am wrong!!!!!!

 

how do you want me to correct you? by standing you in the corner. lol. sorry i coudnt resit it.

 

Well was I right or wrong.......Come on you must know!!!!!!....Do you ever check your PM's....Caper...

 

you lost me there my friend, and yes i check them.

 

if your refering to the last message about the box, im not sure if it has more then one job. its not the cdi for sure.

 

Lost you!!!....Was I right or wrong about this ..Need a open end wrench......Right or wrong?...Caper......

 

i've got the memory of a knat, lol i have a hard time remebering what i had for dinner let alone something last spring. lol. i would use a swivel socket w/ a magnet to hold the bolt in to replace it.
