How the f*ck do you take the secondary off 08 XP?

[711SnoPro]

Hey guys, I want to clean the carbs on my girlfriends 08 TNT 600 and I cannot figure out how to pull the secondary clutch off. I took the chaincase apart, removed the top gear because I was told that was how the secondary/jackshaft come out, now what? I know I'm missing something but not sure what?

I'm a Cat guy (last Doo I had was 04 MXZx 440/700) so I have no clue on these newfangled XP's! lol

Thanks!

There is a 13mm nut holding the bearing in behind the QRS secondary, take that off and push the jackshaft from the chaincase side.
Will slide right out

romove the nut on the bearing retainer behind the secondary tap from the gear side.

Yep, that retainer clip and the top gear (don't forget the spacer behind the gear when you assemble) and you may need to hit it pretty good with a mallet, just don't damage the splines. Heating the casting around the L/H jackshaft bearing may help if it doesn't want to come out.

Stupid design for sure!!

On your way out, replace the torx-headed bolts with hex-headed bolts, and you can remove the secondary without removing the shaft!

Definitely a pain in the azz to remove secondary. However once clutched it's done. ! Hopefully!!
