title says it all lol im curious what all size of tools you would need to take it apart top to bottom! 
tools to take apart and put back together a pro
- Thread starter dieselperry07
- Start date
Just the bolt on parts or the glued / riveted components as well?
For starters it is all metric fasteners, a lot of various sized Torx as well. A heat gun or small propane torch for the glued stuff, and a drill and / or grinder for the rivets.
Enjoy!

A mechanic would already have a general set of SAE and metric tools, and other misc. tools. That's about all you need.
already have tools and all im talking about just having the main essentals for when on a trip away from home I can do it myself also. Just thought I would see if someone already knew all the specifics but ok

Tools aboard my Pro
Factory tool kit that came with the Pro, QD Belt tools, SAE & metric wrenches to take apart the front & rear suspension, a 3/8 drive socket set to match the above SAE & metric wrenches, a 1/4 drive socket with 6mm-10mm sockets, Torx screw driver set.
I ordered the factory service manual this evening and will be better able to see what tools are recommended vs. needed to fully disassemble/reassemble the sled.

All of them, yes everything you have. If you don't have all your tools you will miss them.
The front end uses metric and standard but the rest of it is metric. You need a polaris clutch puller. A torch or some kind of heat to release the glue. A drill and 3/16 bit as well as a grinder and die grinder for the stubborn rivets.
Then basic tools sockets deep and standard with all kinds of extensions. Ratchet wrenches. Torx 1/4 drive and 3/8 as well as non ratchet. Allen sockets 1/4 and 3/8 and Allen wrenches. End wrenches.
If your takeing down the motor you need a puller for the flywheel. if you take the ball out of the a arm you need a special driver a big socket kind of works but you ding up the arm and the socket
All your pry bars up to three foot too

see these are the positive helpful answers I was looking for thanks guys I think it will be good for others to be able to see this. I mean really who doesn't want a tool box with the main essentials of tools?
I was so excited when setting up the tool kit to carry with the new stock sled. It only had some pliers, metric wrenches, allens, a cresent wrench, and torx tool. A LOT less then the tool kit for the turbo...

-flywheel puller
-Wrist pin puller
-P85 holding fixture
-spider tool
-spider nut tool (yes, spiders have nuts)
-button tool
-roller pin driver
-busing driver set (large and small)
-secondary compression tool
-coffee
-shock body holding tool
-nitrogen needle, bottle/reg set up
-long pic set
-strap wrench
-IFP depth tool

A piece of copper pipe with a section cut out and a pair of pliers works great.....I'm too cheap to buy the 'proper tools'. You should see how I get the primary off!
I agree thanks 4Z
Add to that a good rivet tool - after you grind them all off you gotta kinda have a way put them back! If you have air available get an air driven one. There are more rivets than bolts! You can buy aluminum rivets with large flanges from any fastener shop such as Fasteners, Inc and Fastenal. For some of the specialty ones, the only source I know is Polaris. There is a limited selection at NAPA auto parts stores in their body fastener section. That's where I get my christmas trees and darts from.
