TOOL FOR BELT REPLACEMENT

[mountainhorse]

On a 2013 PRO RMK... if you are carrying a spare toothed drive belt... it will be pretty useless in the field, or shop, without these small tools.

Yes, It can be done.. but you will spend some frustrating time getting it done.

Tool Name: Quickdrive Sprocket Alignment Tool
Tool Number: PS-50826
Your Price (USD): $54.65

Sprocket alignment tools are screwed into the ends of the jack shaft and the drive shaft to properly align the drive/driven Quickdrive sprockets during installation of the Quickdrive low inertia drive belt system.

NOTE: This tool was sent September 2012 as an essential tool to all Snowmobile dealers.

[Jkinzer]

belts are $199.99, eric correct me if i'm wrong but one must be a polaris dealer to order from SPX and that $54.99 is dealer cost before shipping

 

[Dazzler]

I was quoted $246 canadian up here in Alberta!!!!!

So both upper and lower Cog bolts have to be removed to use these? How does threading these "tools" into the shafts align the sprockets?

From my perspective, the pieces thread into the axle and jackshaft. Then the cogged wheels are slid over the pieces (which allow them to spin, notice tapered end too) and one can just slide the wheels, with belt installed, onto the splined shafts. Remove the pieces, reinstall the keeper bolts. Considering the tightness of the belt, these are essential for sure. 550iq

That makes sense. Remove the cogs, install the tools, then install the belt on the cogs and slide them onto the shafts. Kinda sucks that you have to remove the cogs to change the belt but considering there is no tensioner this would be the easiest way.

You are correct sir!!

If your dealer is cool and just sold you a $12,000 sled.. then they may pony up to sell you these at cost.

Polaris is backordered on these and Michelle said they wont be available until January. Hope I dont blow a belt

Here's an opportunity for someone with a CNC lathe to make some easy money. Turn a bunch of these out of some billet aluminum and make some easy cash!

 

[SSABMUD]

They need to be stainless or really hard aluminum cause the splines will gouge in and you will not get the belt on.

 

[mountainhorse]

Aluminum would be fine.. or simple mild steel...

Just keep em with some WD40 on them in a small zip-lock.
