With that low miles I would assume they will be all good but its nice to know for sure. After you have inspected everything and are satisfied with the mechanical condition reassemble the unit with a new gasket and apply a think layer of gasket seal to both surfaces of the gasket. It is important to use a factory gasket because the bearings have tight clearances and not having a factory gasket there causes it to have some axial load applied from over tightening and not enough clearance. Once assembled I like to fill with diesel fluid. Do not use any solvent to clean it as you dont want to totally wipe the bearings. When you fill with diesel put the plug back in ......put the secondary bolt in and then run the thing on a drill for a bit like a minute or two. This will get every little micro bit of metal and abrasive out of there. Dump the diesel fluid .....you will notice it is gray and gritty. After this I like to fill it with synthetic atf and then run on the drill again.......get everything coated well in atf and rinse the diesel out as well. Dump this fluid after you have run it around a bit. Final step is to fill to the fill line with whatever fluid you plan to run. I ran an import specific ATF in full synthetic. I will drain and refill half way through the season and my sleds dont see a pile of miles. This is only my method and some may disagree or have other ways. Non-reverse DD?

Only pulled one apart years ago and I don't remember there being a seal between the halves. I'm young and energetic with a good back and prefer to throw the sled from side to side draining and filling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes....there is a factory gasket between the case halfs on both........I just did one of each this summer. Its possible that cat did not use a gasket on the very early build ones as I may recall something like that but they all use it as far as I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomas. Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Does anyone know why on a 2008 Polaris 700 the driveshaft would have a grease zerk but the bearing is a sealed one? It is the one under the secondary clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamgreen02 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Got most of the major preseason stuff done today. Cleaned the power valves, adjust cables (off by 2 mm), changed plugs, changed chaincase oil, put on spare belt, and installed spare plug holder. Need to do the clutches once my puller comes in. Was going to pull the secondary apart but I think I'm just going to clean up the sheaves instead. Rear storage bag comes in tomorrow. Need to order registration stickers this week. Last stuff is to check ski alignment, track tension, track alignment, and set up shocks. By the way, who the hell puts the chaincase behind the oil tank? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted October 1, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 1, 2018 So are these X Package KYBs a decent upgrade over the stock TNT shocks? 200 bucks for the pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Yes decent upgrade....not great shocks but better than the adrenaline shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry ginger Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 the tnt rebuildables and later x shocks are pretty similar but you have rebound adjustment on the x shocks. id prob just send the tnt shocks out have them rebuilt and valved for your weight for the same money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remove the lower5 or 6 screws that you can see and let the fluid drain out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
