Tips on removing pull start cover

[klarkkentster]

getting ready to remove my pull start cover to remove the flywheel? I ordered some stubby allen wrenches -curious if that will do the trick?
Is the only option to remove two engine mounts?

The best way is a allen ball head 1/4 drive socket. Engine mounts dont have to be removed just silencer.

I haven't been on here in a while. There is one spot I recommend drilling out. Its easier for me to send you to this link in one of my old builds here on page 7: https://www.snowest.com/forum/threads/kreating-khaos-162-extreme-and-other-easy-mods.451157/page-7

Removing the motor mount bolts and using a pry bar to lift the motor makes it much easier.
When reassembling do not re-install the two bottom bolts that are a pain to remove.

Exactly.

Avoiding the motor mounts is just making it harder on yourself.

I got back from my trip and went after it. Took about 12 minutes without removing the motor mounts. Ball head allens worked like a charm.

Now I have everything off - sending the flywheel to ZRP today for lightning.

Anyone doing this you might want to change your bolts to titanium: http://www.sourceinnovations.ca/product/titanium-clutch-cover-and-starter-cup-bolts-for-polaris/

1/3 the rotating mass for the kit.

I’m doing that as well as Patricks custom clutch work and carbon fiber cover.

I didn't remove the motor mounts. Just used an allen wrench, and allen sockets with some extensions. It takes a little work to get the bolts out, but it really isn't that difficult.

These are snowmobiles... with enough elbow grease, cursing, and beer, you can repair and mod about anything on them. Don't over-think it.

Just my opinion... and opinions are like assholes... everyone's got one.

My 850 was way easier than the 800

Yea, my 850 already had the hole I used to drill out on the 800 to access the lower front bolt. The 850 is super easy with the ball allan head. No need to take out the motor mount bolts on the 850
