2. Assure the off-road vehicle is in PARK.
3. Establish the parking brake.
4. Lift the seat by lifting up on the back and pulling back.
5. Utilizing a 17mm socket, slacken the lug nuts on the left rear wheel; simply do not remove them.
6. Raise and securely support the Polaris quad bike. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for precise lifting techniques.
7. Remove the lug nuts and placed them on one side.
8. Next, remove the left rear wheel and put it to one side.
9. Applying a 15mm socket, remove the four fasteners holding the lower left-hand frame support and separate them from the off-road vehicle frame.

11. Thoughtfully pull the outer PVT cover from the left rear wheel well.
12. Examine the cover seal and replace it if needed. The seal is part number 5521802.
13. Record the orientation of the drive belt so it can be installed in the same way.
14. Insert the clutch spreader tool into the driven clutch to spread the clutch sheaves. Caution: Ensure the tool is square with the moveable sheave surface of the driven clutch.
15. Carefully walk the belt off the driven clutch while opening the clutch sheaves with the spreader tool as needed. Then remove from the drive clutch.
16. Inspect the belt for any fraying, hour-glassing, loose cords, missing cogs, abrasions, burns or damage, and replace if needed.

21. Spin the driven clutch five to seven times to seat the belt.
22. Carefully reinstall the clutch cover, ensuring the cover seal is fully seated.
