Replacing track on my 2014 Pro,any special tools needed to pull drive shaft out?

Looks like you just need to remove the center bolts on the gears, any other tricks or special tools ?

Bolt on the lower pulley, remove the lower pulley.

Then the 13mm nuts on the clutch side.

Depending on what track you are putting in it may be easier to remove the bearing in the QD side.

You need the 2014 tool to reassambly the Quickdrive sprockets..

Since the driveshaft are different on 2013 the tool for 2013 will not fit the 2014 shaft

What are your plans for the old track?

Muscle and a friend to help.

Also changing my track, when putting it back together should I be putting any grease on the spline shafts? Like the end of the drive shaft or jack shaft ends?

What does tool look like? I just removed both pulleys at the same time with belt. Will it not go together the same way?

Yes, you can get it on the same way with some muscle and patience.

Probably sell it. But I need to make sure I like this new 3 inch track.

I saw a picture of the tools. Do they just guide on the gears ?

my track is coming also. How do you change out the drivers? rubber mallet and a 2X4?

Use a shop press and press the old ones off, then press the new ones on

Yes, they are tapered so you can just wiggle the top and bottom sprocket on. With the belt on.

FWIW I spent over an hour trying without the tools, then 1/2 hr with a spare set of hands. No dice.

Took 2 minutes by myself with the tools. Try for yourself without the tools and report back.

Just pressed my new drivers on, man they are a tight fit. Do not try to beat them off, youll just screw them up.

How much is a shop press?

 

[dmaxd2500]

They can be pretty expensive. Just take it to your local dealer, machine shop, or auto repair shop. All should have a press and adapters suitable for pressing drivers on and off. We charge $45 for the service, which is waaay cheaper than buying a shop press.
