I bought my wife a 99 trailblazer and I have some ???s
on the rear brake caliper...i put new pads on, and there is a small metal block spacer...does it go between the pads??or on the side of the pads??? Also to go in reverse you have to push the override button, does this mean something is wrong??...it wont go backwards unless the button is held in... help thnx

 

2000 400exer,

As I have an older Trailblazer, I'll let the others handle the brake question. As far as the reverse is concerned, you must remember that a Polaris will go just as fast in reverse as they will forwards. The over ride button is nothing more than a safety feature thaat prevents it from doing just that (these machine handle kind of squirrelly in reverse at high speeds, trust me, I know). To get full power in reverse just hold the button down or you can disconnect it, as I did.

 

Your trailblazer must have a clutch kit installed if it does not go in reverse without overide. Does it engage right when you hit the throttle, or do you have to rev it up a little ways before the clutch engages. If you need to rev it up a little, that means it is clutched.

AJ took the words right out of my mouth. When stock, you can back a TB up just fine w/o touching the override button.

 

The small spacer goes between the two pads. I have two TB's,
a 99 and a 2000. The 99 has a clutch kit and the 00 does not.
As mentioned above, if yours has a clutch kit installed you
have to use the over-ride button to go in reverse.

 

thanks everyone..i suppose it has a clutch kit installed...the person i bought it from said that it was changed over to the new style belt?? i dunno what that means, but I do have to rev it up to get it goin...any suggestions? thanx alot again

 

2000400exer,a worn belt can also cause you to always use the reversr overide,but it is most likely aftermarket clutching.
