eli Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 (edited) How hard is it to change the drive belt on a RZR? Don't believe you need special tools do ya? Help a girl out with the info please? Not hard but kind of a grind. No special tools needed. Pull the seats and the panel you remove to check the oil. Remove all the screws that hold on the cover. That's part of the grind. Some of them are hard to get to. Remove the cover sometimes that takes some cussin too. Now look at the smaller pulley. It has cut outs in it on the forward half. Select a socket that fits in the smaller of the cut outs and the longest extension you have got. Use the extension in the socket in the cut out to pry the small pulley open a bit. You only have to loosen the belt a bit so you can slide it off the big pulley. When it's off the big one remove it from the small one. Slip the new belt over the small pulley. If you can turn the belt on to the big one fine. Otherwise you will have to pry open the small pulley again and slide it on the big one. Cuss the cover but don't screw up the gasket getting the cover back on. Replace all the screws and you are done. If you didn't trash the old belt carry it as a spare. While it ain't fun the first time, better you learned to do it at the house instead of on trail in the middle of no where. Eli BTW Don't "test drive" it by replacing the panel and the seats without replacing the cover. Beside being dangerous if you didn't get the belt on all the way it'll do a big number on the foam on the inside of the panel.

dirtprincess Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Thanks for the info. Might be fun cussing on my saturday afternoon. Suppose I oughta sheck the oil and maybe do some cleaning while I'm down there. Yes at home on a cussing saturday is way better than on the trail.
