Great explanation of how the hilliard clutch works. Thanks! I'm glad I'm not the only guy that has a crazy messy shop when I'm working on something.

First person that could explain the functionning of the clutch. Thanks mate. It helped when you said the armature plate worked as a brake. cheers.

just helping out where I can...glad it did you some good!

Thank you Bud. My tabs are worn off and now that the book doesn't explain what to look for , You answered all my Questions. My tabs are worn off. Off th Polaris to get two new ones tomorrow while I have both clutches out . Thanks again.

Thanks for the video, definitely know how it works now

Best explanation so far. Thanks

Hi from the Rocky Mountains, man I am sure glad i found your video! It was just what I needed to help me get my Trail boss back running. My clutch looks a bit different but same theory. I bought the atv already taken apart Thanks and great job ER

Thank you so much for uploading this I've just acquired a polaris magnum 425 with this style of hub and was totally dumb founded on how they work but now i completely understand them and now can figure out why my one hub ain't locking

This is an awesome explanation! Thanks so much for this, made it really simple repairing my 04s 4x4 system, keep up the great videos!

Gr8 video bro. I recently bought a Polaris Sportsman 500 4x4 and my left front wheel hub clutch is engaging even when AWD is turned off. I think I will disassemble the hub, bearing, and clutch and see if my Hilliard clutch or Armature plate is damaged. I had an idea how Polaris AWD worked but your video made it very clear. Keep the how to vids coming man! I think the Polaris 4wd system is great if you keep your hubs properly lubed and replace worn parts before they cause extreme damage. :)

I just got a scrambler 500 and this was very helpful, thanks!

That's very helpful, thanks to you explaining everything I believe that I can formulate a plan to bypass the electric magnet and just have analog full-time drive on mine 😀, I have a 1997 Polaris Magnum 425 6x6, so I'll get back to you it my plan works 😅.

excellent treatise... I've always kinda wondered how that all worked. You explained it perfectly. :)

Pretty damn good video, considering you said you're not a mechanic. I'm an Automotive Technician and I can say I thought you explained this well. Good video. Would like to see more.

Thanks for the explanation on this hub design. Now I get how it works!

Great video, helped me! Thank you for taking the time to share.

Great job….simple explanation and accurate

I am going with the others and say first one to truly explain how this thing works great info. now I can stop scratching my head and fix this Thing Thank You ! P.S You are The MAN!

Dude thanks for taking the time to video this. Very informative.

Thx. Really helpful. I'll take mine apart and see if I can figure out the problem. I'll be back to ask you some questions if you don't mind

Thanks for the information. I am going to check this out as I have the problem of one of my front wheels not turning in AWD.

Awesome job explaining 💯

Thanks, the centrifugal forced clutch explains the on-demand AWD too.

Thanks for making it make sense.

thanks man you made it look real simple

That was the best explanation thankyou !!

Very good explanation - thank you!

I've done my own experiment with this clutch. If you want to see in in action, just put a big bushing where the hub goes (that giant nut in the middle of the clutch, if you have an older one is just perfect for that). So without the hub installed you will see the difference when in 2x4 and 4x4 and be able to film it.

Real good video!!!!!!! I agree with Francis, great explanation, i have a problem with my own 500ho, it will be interesting to do my own troubleshooting

Great video man!

Dude thank you. I found a broken wire!!

hey thanks for the video, it helped me to fix my sons polaris 4 wheel drive Thank you

Great vid and explanation. My O8 Scrambler 500 is in pieces now to address a bad hub wobble. Im guessing the hub bearings but they dont look all that bad. I'll swap and see

Great dude! Helped me a lot. You da bomb!

Thanks buddy nice video

Great video bro....

Thanks mate. I was very confused about it.

sure thing. I haven't rode in quite a while. Time to get back to it.

Thanks man, very helpful!

Thanks for the explanation of the armature plate which acts as a brake to the outer half of the Hilliard clutch , did not know what that was called either THANKS , Now I can see what happens ! With the splines on the axle engaged in the splines of the inner part of the clutch, (the big nut ) & the outer half not rotating freely, the big roller bearings will be forced out against the hub , forcing 4x4 THANKS

Proud of you man for figuring that all out ! Also if that plate is distorted in any way it is garbage ! In other vids they tell you to place a straight edge across where the axle comes out of & where the armature plate comes up against should be .001” , if more than that it will not work properly

great information, thanks.

I believe the reason the magnet assembly needs to have a good ground is to eliminate the problem where the armature plate becomes magnetized when not asked to be (I.e awd switch not on) this gives the plate a complete circuit to ground. Great Video, garage is a mess

Thanks, really helpful.

very helpful thank you sir

Great explanation!!!!

awsome. thank you. very helpful.

This this really helped

Great video

Great explanation.....

Helped me out. Thanks.

Will Robinson I just wish I had time to ride it anymore!!

I'm having the same problem with my 2002 Polaris 400. Bought it used and someone before me has all the wireing all screwed up. Was wonder how it worked. Just wondering if i can wire the clutches directly to a switch. Dont think the 4 WD switch is working. Thanks for sharing and making it easy to understand

Hi I just seen this I just got one but its a 400 and when I put it into 4x4 one tire will move and the other will not. I am going to ck this out because the rubber boot behind it is gone that is on the drive axle. I hope there is not much to it.

Any vids on pulling the bendix/starter drive?...I have a 96 400 xplorer and the estarts not working so I have the recoil housing off but can't get the bendix out. Do you have any vidoes on hooking up the throttle cable?....mine sticks so I have to do that to

my magnet does not seem to have enough pull to hold it in place? any ideas?

yea I couldn't find many videos explaining it and I like to fix my own stuff (when I know what I'm doing!)

I’m getting power to the magnet but hub will not lock... has some resistance but will not lock fully

Good video. This is going,to help me because I just picked up a 97 4x4 and it's only 3 wheel drive. I bet the bad part is the plate that locks it in. Thanks

Thanks!

it was a good vidieo, is there any way I can make it full Time 4x4

Awesome.

Thank you sir

Good video. I took mine apart lastnight and found my armature plates are bent in a concave shape. I'm assuming that's my problem, fingers crossed

Thanks

I’m still lost on it. My 400 scrambler 2 stroke started working in 3 wheel drive yesterday. I found my cv boot was cut open and it was exposed to mud and water. So I dunno if it just needs a new axle Or the hub parts are damaged ?

you figure it out I only have 3 wheels turning on my polaris 500.Tore it down and found the armature plate pretty bent up put a new one in and still have only the same 3 wheels turning

andycel schneider I haven’t tore into mine yet. But if your plate is good and everything looks good you need to check the current in the wiring with a meter. No current no wheel turn

Nice....You're Welcome

I sure don't man...sorry...I've got the 4 wheeler at my folks...when I get it back next time maybe I'll do a vid of the throttle cable hook up...not hard at all though.

What was setting on the torque for the nut?

I think i put the armiture plate backwards

Most of the problems with this system are... neglect of service of the hubs. Dead magnet or bad connection to the magnet. Or messed up armature plate tabs.

great info but got motion sick from watching this...haha

I can't watch this: camera moving too much too fast. exiting out. Thank you for the effort, though.

good explanation of how this system works, What a terrible design though.
