| I recently had the same problem trying to get a front axle off of Jo's old Kodiak. Slide hammer was the solution to that problem also | |

| Glad you got the fuel pump troubles fixed relatively cheap. What year and how many miles are on your bike? | |

| another thing to be aware of on the 800 Polaris, is the Mass air flow sensor wires. They can break in the insulation and you can't see it. There is a better replacement harness available on E-bay, it is made with heavier wires and connector. | |
