Tips on removing driveshaft

09snopro · Sep 24, 2016

I am having a hard time getting the driveshaft out of my 2016 Axys. I have removed the collar on the clutch side and the belt and gears on the exhaust side. I cannot get the driveshaft to budge towards the clutch side. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Did you ensure your teeth on the drivers are not in contact with your track..
I assume you have removed the suspension already ..... I have seen others trying it with it in HONESTLY!!!!!!!!!
( Had to ask sorry)

You should have loosened up the track at the rear to give you the needed slack against the drivers

The rear skid is removed as well.

Balloon the track forward against the bulkhead - it will allow slack to get the drivers away from the track

Lay the sled on its side so your not fighting it. Use some straps to help hold the track in the tunnel so it's not fighting you.

I got it out finally. Sprayed it with some penetrating oil let it sit. With my sons help it came out. Thanks.

Must have had the good 'ole rust build up on the inside of the outer bearing-
We put some anti-seize on it when we install after a good cleaning...
