Does any one have any tricks to get your primary clutch off your 900? I've tried everything and it won't even budge. I even broke the spider loose but the clutch hasn't moved. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

It's the correct tool, and i tried tapping it as well... nothing.Are you using the proper clutch removal tool?
One time my clutch did not want to budge and the tool was really tight (actually bending the tip)
I didn't want too, but I had to tap on the end of the puller and all it took was a light tap and it flew off with (bang) force.
I've had ALOT of grease on the threads and still no go.I found that it's a lot easier if you put grease on the puller threads. Without grease a lot of extra force is needed to overcome the resistance due to friction.
Okay thanks I'll have to try that. I've done the water, grease, hammer, and my whimpy impact gun, so I'll have to find a better impact.Take it down to a tire shop and have them use a quality high torque impact...it'll pop right off. Just make sure to run the puller all the way in by hand before hitting it with the gun. I have read so many posts from so many people saying don't under any circumstances use an impact but in the same breath, they say to smack the puller with a hammer. They can both cause stress to the crank but at least the impact is not slamming the crank back into the case each time.
I tried every method to get mine off before the impact...water, grease, heat, smacking the puller multiple times each time I tried a new method. I bent 3 pullers (yes, they were the correct pullers) and probably smacked my crank 25-30 times before I finally gave up for the season. This year, quick jolt with a good impact (not the one you have in your garage), no problems. Just my 2 cents...:beer;

I've done this and no go.. What kind of problem do you think I have?Put teflon tape around the threads of the clutch puller.
If you loaded the bore with grease and teflon taped your puller and it still doesn't come off, you probably have a serious problem ...

Sounds to me like this is another case of Polaris not selling the right clutch puller ..
There was a whole big thread Indy Dan posted about this...
I can't remember exactly what the crux of the situation was, but something to do with the fact that Polaris was selling the wrong clutch pullers as "900 clutch pullers" ..
You might PM indydan1 and ask him about it.
Some of them are just stuck on hard...that's all there is to it. The three pullers I bent were all the correct pullers and not all the same brands. Sometimes you just have to use an impact...bet the dealer does, despite what they recommend
