Polaris Sportsman Front Axle Sprocket And Chain

Showing some of the challenges of replacing the front axle sprocket and front chain. I ended up making a new tool for my air hammer to drive the roll pin out of the axle.

I wish you would have showed where that bolt is to loosen the front eccentric, i have a 1997 Scrambler 4x4 im rebuilding and im throwing all new chains on it but i cant seem to get them both on at the same time. The rear and middle chains were no problem but the front and middle wont play nice together, lol. I loosened the middle eccentric and with some blaster it was moving by hand in minutes. Thats strange for a Pennsylvania vehicle. I figured it would be solid rust. I think it was someones garage kept baby for a long time, but whoever had it recently hasnt replaced jack in a long time. I shouldnt have paid 1500 for it but i didnt know it needed everything. Im about to do the swingarm bushings and brakes and hub bearings next and i believe it will be done. Ive done quite a bit to it. Im anxious. I bought my daughter a 2000 trail boss for her birthday so we can ride together and it was good to go, i wish the scrammy would have been but those are usually more beat on. I like your videos. If you can please make a quick video about how to adjust the front chain on a Polaris or even try to explain it here id be grateful. I believe they quit using chain drive front ends in 98 so not alot of info online about it. Your video here is all i found about it. Thanks again for the videos.
Update: i watched this video with my brightness turned up all the way, now i see the bolt you were talking about for the front eccentric. Thanks for making this. Its the only video on the internet about the front eccentric on older polaris atvs.
