I apologize in advance for asking a question that's probably been answered a hundred times already, but I just couldn't find the info that I need with a search. I must not be searching with the right key words.

Anyway, I've got the skid out, and I've unbolted the 3 bolts holding the speedo bracket onto that side of the shaft. My question is on the other side of the shaft. My 02 service manual is describing the procedure for a completely different sled, so it's got me confused.

Do I just remove the 3 nuts I see in the tunnel, or do I have to pull the chaincase apart? I'm guessing I have to pull the chaincase apart. If so, any tips?

Pull chaincase apart and remove the bottom sprocket.

Thanks. I just got it out. It didn't turn out to be too difficult once I pulled the cover off. Sometimes you just need that push in the right direction.

you mean take the chaincase cover off and remove the sprockets and chain not the whole chaincase right?

That is how I do it only the cover and gears removed
