I have watched all Todd’s videos and have learned so much! I have emailed Todd with questions and he responded very quickly and professionally. I will never buy another belt, nor will I ever ask questions of anyone else!! Hunter works has my business for life
I watched this video 3 or 4 times before deciding to buy the belt and do this myself. After watching the video, I bought the Hunterworks belt and clutch puller and it was as easy as described! I even used the dreaded impact method!! This video was the reason Hunterowrks got my business. Thanks again.
That was a great video. I love how you show the different ways and I love how you tell people about using an impact wrench. I feel the same way after doing it for so many years. Whether it's on other pieces of hardware or machinery, you just know how it feels!
Been running gates belts on everything, but I will probably at least buy your primary puller. May even try out one of your belts one day. Great informative videos. Thank you!
Your videos are super helpful I have just recently bought a 2010 ranger 900 diesel keeps shredding belts so have bought a new secondary hoping that solves it 🤞🤞
Thank you for the video for it was easy to follow. I do have one strong suggestion though and that is maybe add a highlight to the video where you are reinstalling the six bolts on the clutch cover to make sure you line up the X on the cover to the X on the stationary sheaves. I did this thinking I would have to pull the primary clutch cover off again but by shear luck I lined up the X correctly. Just suggestion and other than great videos for Im getting educated fast on the services on my RZR.
I leave the secondary unbolted, and put the belt on with the secondary open to save from twisting the belt back on. Same way you took the belt off by unbolting the secondary works for putting it back on with ease.
Maybe for you but if done wrong, the belt sits low in the secondary, when you tighten it, it tightens against the belt, then when you drive it, the belt moves up and the secondary is loose. If done correctly it can be done and you seem to know that method, but not one we would show anyone, too much liability for us using that method
Great video, I pulled the secondary after struggling for an hour trying to use the clutch tool. Everything went great until the washer for the secondary blew up.. guess I miss judged my Matco impact haha
Good video. Gonna have to keep this in mind for the future. Just had my cover off thusorning to blow outbany accumulated dust after a real dirty ride last weekend. (It was surprisingly clean). Frankly it looks like taking the dang cover off is more cunbersome than changing the belt. But yeah, cool.
Access..... If the wheel is off, you can get to those bottom bolts better I'm betting. But I was pleased anyway..... Incredibly dusty trail day, and VERY LITTLE dust in the belt area. Intake filter, another story!!!
When using the special tool on the secondary clutch is the shaft tapered allowing the belt tension to loosen or how does it work thank you great straight up video tks
Thank you for posting these videos! Wonderful demonstration and explanation. Had to laugh at your "dumb ass" comment and attitude... spot on: only way to handle the ugly side of comment boards IS to chuckle. I just "inherited" my brother's RZR 900S since he owed me some money, and because he's upgrading to a 4-seater for his kids (says he's gonna miss the 900S). Anyway, I don't have a lot of mechanic experience but am excited to learn these basics. Appreciate your efforts to share your knowledge. I'll be picking up a Hunterworks belt. Next I need to learn how to change the oil... my husband will think he's died and gone to heaven.
I’m like another on here. Just stumbled onto your video, love the approach you take. Stupid question, 2019 XP1000 eps, should it have come out with a tool kit? Ours did not. Will double check with dealer. Will be getting on your site and ordering belt and primary removal tool. Thanks for being here for us dummy’s
Is it OK to drive about 10-15 miles with a few of the strings on it, I blew a belt with very minimum tools when at home I'll pull secondary pulley off and clean it up? Good video. I just subscribed now.🇺🇸🇺🇸
bought your belt, white washer and round Puck for my rzr 1000 s, instructions say how to break it in, my question is should I use low? high? or little of both
Glad I found this vid. My buddy and me have an on going debate about using impact on the clutches. I use it and he tells me I'm crazy. Me for the win! Lol
Would you please tell me what size socket is needed for the drive clutch bolt? Even the dealer does not have that info. You said the secondary clutch uses a 15 mm socket. Thanks. Can a person put the belt over the secondary, then install it and tighten the bolt down? You did not address that in your video. Thanks - Bill - NW Oregon
@@Hunterworks Thank you for the fast reply. I really appreciated this video. I'm old and try to pack emergency tools in my cargo box - including an impact gun for flat tires on my trailer or Rzr. In this video you show removing and re-installing the secondary, but not with the belt in it, Is that possible? If you have a video on this, please send me the link or the title so I can search for it. If you have no video on this, I guess I'll learn when I finally have to replace a belt. Bill -
@@HunterworksI have a primary puller ordered. The same my dealer sells and I have the two sockets and a factory clutch pry bar already in my Rzr. I'm too old and weak to risk getting stranded in the middle of no where. Thank you again for your video and taking the time to give me feed back. Bill -
Why can't I get my new belt on my polaris 900xp? The circular hub on the right just won't let me get the belt completely over it. It seems like it's too small of a belt but the shop that sold it to me said it is the exact belt needed for all these. Any help would be much appreciated thanks!
Hi Todd, could you install the new belt by removing the secondary like you showed us and just putting the new belt around the primary 1st and then around the secondary and push the secondary into place and securing the bolt? Kinda like you did with the primary last on the video. Thanks
That's pretty much how I do it. You just have to have the secondary in your hands, put the belt around the secondary, then slip it over your primary, and then put your secondary back onto the machine. Super easy, and no belt twisting.
@@Hunterworks hope so. Sat night I was riding and suddenly at about 30 it wouldn't speed up so I let off and gassed it again and same. Then engine light came on and it made noise so I stopped and towed it home. Came down with covid and been sick as a dog since and worrying about it. Sure hope that's all it is. Thanks I'll let you know when I feel like checking it
How much play is in secondary pully.big one..working on one now that has clunking noises n rear diff,but the pulley has in n out play to..wore out bushings,sloppy ujoints on the output shafts.ugh I hate these things.
@@Hunterworks yeah its got a Lil bit of slop.just gonna run it n see.lots of other problems to like worn bushings noisy bearings in diff cases.l/r cases f/r.clunky on low throttle n prob crappy belt.more than likely needs the washer fix..belt seems to be riding on the flat spot down in there.im not a polaris expert at all other than changing a belt here n there by manhandling it off.no tool.
When do you know it's time to change the belt ? When I go forward it's like jumping at first but onces I get it moving it dose fine also it dose it while going reverse
@@kennyhaworth9606 same answer, not enough info, no idea what this vehicle is, best to get help by emailing me todd@hunterworks.com put on there vehicle, tires, miles on it and style of riding along with any clutch mods you have done already
Might be best for you to watch our alignment tool video that will explain it. The short of it, 6 bolts holds engine and tranny together, they loosen or break etc
Mostly our custom dimensions to accomplish a particular goal. No one else has a belt dimensioned like ours. Then simply the material and how they are put together. We can back it up too, over 30,000 sold and failure rate at less than 1%
Hey Todd, I had my shifter cable changed and my belt changed about a month ago at the dealership. Every since I got my 2014 Polaris Ranger 900 Crew back, If I hit brakes going forward or reverse, the majority of the times, the engine dies. It almost seems as if the clutch is not releasing the belt or something. Any ideas what could have happened? I took it back to the dealer today, but I just need an insight before they call me telling me I need more parts or service. Let me know. Thanks.
Is that the same as a 2019 polaris rzr 900 pulley Because I burly bought one and went to drive it and it doesn't move back or forward it used to Before I put in the water
How much do you charge to change the belt and go from square pucks to the round ones..also is it better to put a clutch kit in one and does it help the low end a lil better or not...
We don't offer the service to do it, just videos and the parts. Clutch kit depends, have a new video whether you need one or not. Look on our channel for it
Hello, I’ve been struggling to pull off my primary for a couple hours now. It got submerged and think that it’s rusted shut. My puller is good but not sure if impact is strong enough. Any suggestions? Already tried the hammer and don’t want to do the grease bomb trick.
I have a question I have a sportsman 400 I went 1in bigger with tires and now it seems take a little bit to get going and I changed the belt when I did tires is there anything I could do to tighten up the belt
Hey what's going on I have a 2006 Polaris ranger 500 and I keep blowing belts up and destroying them I blew out my clutch with air to clean it do you think it can be the spring in the clutch or the clutch weights when I'm heading the gas on the Polaris sometimes it's having trouble on engaging the belt I was looking at so sometimes it was sticking a little bit and I'm afraid to step on the gas thinking I'm going to blow a belt
@@Hunterworks yeah the person I bought the Polaris ranger from he used to drive it with no clutch cover case I was thinking the clutch might be done for because all the dirt and grime probably went in between the weights and everythingit didn't seem like it had too much power when I was driving it at mudfest this past if I change that clutch completely springs weights complete clutch it should give me more power right
Ideally yes, they are not very expensive for piece of mind. Plus you WILL use them ALL the time once you get used to them. Run them on w/ impact then finish w/ torque. EZ!

"Know when to quit" Good advice for many things in life
I love that Todd does all this the "old fashioned" way. Like a farmer or mechanic. Hunterworks has been great for me.
I appreciate your comments. No professionalism here

Awesome video! I love learning the hacks of how to do a job in different ways!
Thank you
Thank you for getting to the point and showing plus and minuses of different techniques 😉
The hunter belt fixed 90% of my problems ,2015 900s EPS
For the other 10% , gas on it and go!!
Thanks Todd!! Got my belt from you and now going to install it.
Good deal and thank you!!
Wow mechanics are amazing, you guys make it look so easy thank you so much
Thank You

@@randy-yo8zi if you ease back maybe. If you have no choice guess you have no choice
For a guy less experienced a torque stick with that impact would be great. Just for peace of mind.

Something in clutch or transmission, start by taking clutch cover off and see what you see then use our troubleshooting videos
What's the part number for the clutch puller.
We do not use a part number on our site, but we only have one puller, our universal puller for any 900 cc and larger including turbo

Because we do not sell it, sorry.
Can you put a 750 belt on a 500 for more durability
What vehicle
I been using method 3 all the time on artic cat primary clutch split in half without a puller anyway and never twist a belt
I have a 2013 500 EFI can I use the third method, pulling the primary clutch? Which belt do you recommend for my model?
OE or Ultimax brand
How and why do these transmissions get out of alignment??
Might be best for you to watch our alignment tool video that will explain it. The short of it, 6 bolts holds engine and tranny together, they loosen or break etc
Thanks
Thank you thank you! Question regarding the primary and secondary do they require any kind of lubricant after you clean up the parts?
As a general rule no, I have a cleaning video somewhere on a primary shows you where to put some dry lube spray
What makes your belt better than others?
Mostly our custom dimensions to accomplish a particular goal. No one else has a belt dimensioned like ours. Then simply the material and how they are put together. We can back it up too, over 30,000 sold and failure rate at less than 1%

Hello, I’ve been struggling to pull off my primary for a couple hours now. It got submerged and think that it’s rusted shut. My puller is good but not sure if impact is strong enough. Any suggestions? Already tried the hammer and don’t want to do the grease bomb trick.
If the hammer deal does not work, you have nothing to lose trying any other method before cutting it off.
