side engine compartment door. Tip snowmobile onto
its left side.

support. Bend the fender behind the foot rest support
with a shop towel between the parts to prevent
damage to fender.

Final Drive/Brake System
3. Lock the parking brake. Remove the upper and lower
sprocket fasteners. Discard both fasteners.
4. Remove both sprockets and the drive belt as an
assembly. Work both sprockets off each shaft equally
to prevent belt binding.
NOTE: If a sprocket stops moving, it is likely the
sprocket has been pulled out too far in relation to the
other sprocket. Push the binding sprocket inwards,
and extract the other sprocket.
5. Inspect the sprocket teeth and surfaces for damage.
Replace sprocket(s) if damage is found.
