Nice work dude, thanks for the vid!

Great video! I just picked up at 800, 2007 Mxz and was advised to check this. I am rebuilding the carbs and then working on this next. It was rebuilt a few years ago but hardly driven. You gave some good tips here about the air vent and the grease coming out. The 4 bolts would have a torque spec on that but not sure, a good rule of thumb is 17 ft lbs for most things that size.

awesome vid man.

Great vid A good check, brake clean running RPM jump means you have to do this or POP she goes.

Think there's a pacific amount of grease that goes in... The reason for the 10 - 20 MLS is because grease expands with heat and can push the seal out I believe.

Yes, 20 ML maximum!

What works good for a clutch holder is a small ratchet strap. My 03 800 has no retainer plate just the seal. They say you need to split the crank case to change it But if you put the seal in the Deep Freezer for two days like I did it shrinks just enough to get it in there without damaging it. Be quick when installing or you will beat up the seal. They say knowledge is gained by making mistakes well I must have lots of it. Lol 😂. Great 👍 vid.

Haha yes the freezer trick really does help. I have never used it on a seal though. Yep you definitely get knowledge from mistakes. I have made a few in my days....

Right on! I had 16K almost 17 on my 05 600sdi and all original. That was back probably 11-12 years ago. Ran great.

They started using Isoflex way back in 1999 with the first Series III 600 in the Summit. My 2001 800 nonHO had it as of course because it's Series III. Those ones didn't have the seal retaining plate though and I split my cases to re-grease (mostly to replace the PTO seal after the belt failed and wrapped cords around the shaft.....I didn't want to risk the seal being bad and leaning out the engine and also read that removing the seal without splitting the case can damage it. I think the later ones with the retaining plate allowed you to remove the seals without damage which is much better obviously.

Yes much better with the retaining plate. Too bad they couldn’t just be like the old ones and have oil go through them. A way better design.

Great vids thanks

their is a small 90 degree pipe with a cap on it that come out of the crank case behind the clutch. You can grease both pto bearings from this location with a syringe and a hose without taking the clutch off. The mag side, you need to remove the recoil/flywheel and take the top and bottom stator bolts out and add grease through the top threads, this will grease the bearings on that side. This should be done every year imho.

Can you do this to a 78 skidoo 440 fan cooled

What re the buddy kits you mentioned?

Any info about the mag side.

Do you part # for the seal, mine is 600 ho sdi

Holy fuck how long did it take to blow that seal out. You're supposed to use a syringe for a reason to measure how much to put in. You're only supposed to put 15ml

It helps you if you roll the engine over as you go

Is isoflex only used if it doesn't have oil nipples ? Bcuz if it has them then it could clog the nipples

What isoflex grease u use ?? The nb 52??

Quick question man, did u actually press seal in tight with pvc pipe and rubber mallet or just line it up and allow those 4 retainer screws to pull it in tight . Cheer

How did you get the inner seal out without damaging it

@Schneids15

The inner seal is on the inside of the bearing. You have to split the motor to get to it.

I hadn’t. However i ran with the tube on to let grease flow out and push the old crap out the back side of the bearing. Then re capped. If i did it again i would use less. Was just trying to go by ski doo spec. However no issues.

Do you know if this applies to the new 2023 600 EFI? I just bought one.

@@Schneids15 When they came out with the 850 ETEC I saw a cut away of it at a Skidoo show and it didn't have the grease. I forget what year this was. Right beside it they had a cut away of the 600 ETEC and you could see the grease was still being used. It was packed in the bearings and there was no oil line to the bearing like on the 850 ETEC. Do you know what year they switched to it being oil fed like on the 850? Thanks.

Use aeroshell 22 grease it's a bit cheaper and honestly better grease they use it in aircraft wheel bearings that are under extreme Temps that a sled will never reach

Barium soap grease (isoflex) is pretty amazing on the data sheet. Good in low and high temps and in vaccuum and fuel immerse environment. Or run a full synth moly and repack (probably cheaper and smarter) Isoflex is ridiculously expensive
