how on earth do u get this off? i know its left handed thread.but how do you get it broke loose when i try the hole shaft spins.
any hints or tricks guys?

 

Polaris makes a special socket for removing that nut , I believe it sells for close to $75 . (Correct me if I am wrong , I bought mine a long time ago )

You are correct about the threading it is left handed.

You will need to use a "piston stop" to stop the shaft from spinning, it threads into the spark plug hole.

 

Use a large punch and a hammer to get it off and on. The special tool is nice if you afford it but in a pinch a punch will work. A couple of good hard hits normally breaks it free.

 

How many hits should he take to torque it to 45 ft. lbs?

 

You can also go to just about any Polaris Master Mechanic and they will usually either do it for you or let you do it right there, or let you use the tool. That's what I did. If you are going to replace the seals (which is a good idea if you are breaking the block apart), use a torch to heat it up a little, comes right off. Good luck, let me know if you need any help on the motor, had mine apart twice! (1995 Scrambler 4x4)
