I am in the process of removing the gear box on my 98 polaris trailblazer. I almost have everything apart except the main clutch. I need it off to get the plastic shroud off to get to the bolts into the gear box. Am I needing to get a clutch removal tool or is there some other way to get it loose from the shaft? Also, how do the swing arm bolts for the rear end come out. I turned them but they keep turning, is there a nut on the other side somewhere? Any one done this before and have any pointers for a beginner? Thanks!!

 

You need a puller.Buy one and if you keep this machine it will be one of the most used tools you have.There are lots of jobs on these that are easy IF you remove the clutches.

 

Ditto on the puller and yes there are nuts on the backside of swingarm bolts.
