Primary will not come off

Use this exact method. Works every time, and is easier on your crank bearings! Only change I would make is step 10. Rev sled up to 45-5000 rpm a couple times before riding then re torque. It will tighten up more then, and be good to go after that.

Ok, I'm taking off the primary on my 09 Ski Doo Summit 800R, It's an etec? I've hear ptec and/or etec. Anyway, I've heated the inner shaft up a bit and tried the impact as well. I'm gonna give the whole hydraulic method a shot. I'll give y'all an AAR...

Honestly, I've never had this much trouble getting a primary off before. Is it ok to use some anti-seize on the shaft when re-installing?

NO ANTI-SEIZE! Seating of the taper metal-metal is what is transferring all of the power. If it slips that's no good.
