Start by removing the stator side engine cover. There should be around 10-12 bolts (8mm). Next pull the flywheel. On the backside of the flywheel is 8 Allen bolts. Remove these and your starter clutch assembly will be off.
A picture of the clutch assembly removal process for a 250 Polaris Trailblazer can be found in the repair manual. It details how to access, disassemble, and remove the assembly.
You have to pull the front clutch off to get to the rest of the bolts...
You need to first pull the flywheel/magneto off of the crank shaft. The starter clutch is attached to the back side of it with bolts.
Under the air filter box, above the engine crankcase, behind the belt/clutch housing.
There is no transmission oil, its what is considered a wet clutch the engine oil lubricates the clutch, 2 quarts will fill the engine oil.
Remove the clutch cover , you might have to remove the left floorboard to remove the cover . The rear clutch can easily be removed by removing the bolt in the middle and pulling it straight outward . The front clutch requires a puller that screws into the center of the clutch .Removal without a puller will result in clutch damage .
clutch doesn't need to be removed. disconnect battery, remove hot electrical wire. remove 2 10 mm bolts and remove starter. might have to tap it to loosen up. reassemble. if necessary sand hole where starter goes into housing and coat with grease. tap if necessary.
Purchase a clutch rebuild kit, and a clutch puller tool.
NO, the clutch for the starter is internal. The clutch is on the gear that engages the starter gear.You have to remove left side engine case and remove flywheel to access starter clutch assembly.
How do you figure the starter is okay just by popping the clutch? Popping the clutch uses the driveline to turn the motor over. The starter is not involved at all.
The problem may be with your starter and not with the clutch.
Check for power at the clutch switch, then check for continuity through the switch with the clutch pedal depressed. If there is power and continuity, then the starter (or even ignition solenoid/starter relay) is the problem.
