Sporthfish Flywheel Puller Tool for Polaris RZR, Ranger, Sportsman — 50mm x 1.5 LH Thread, Hardened Steel

The Sporthfish Flywheel Puller is a heavy-duty, 50mm x 1.5 left‑hand thread tool engineered to remove flywheels from select Polaris Ranger, RZR and Sportsman engines safely and reliably.

If you service Polaris UTVs or snowmobile-style engines listed for the 2011–2018 model years, this flywheel puller gives you a precise, vehicle‑specific way to separate the flywheel from the crank without damaging key surfaces. Machined from durable steel with a self‑seating central thread and reverse (left‑hand) thread pitch, the tool is built to resist slipping and bind during extraction. Apply light lubricant to the threads for smoother operation and longer life.

Which Polaris models and years will this puller fit?

This Sporthfish puller fits a focused set of Polaris air‑ and liquid‑cooled single‑ and twin‑cylinder models. Check your engine and flywheel thread type before ordering to confirm compatibility.

• Compatible models: RZR XP 900 (2011–2013), RZR 4 XP 900 (2011–2013)
• RZR 570 (2012–2016), RZR XP 1000 & RZR 4 XP 1000 (2014–2018)
• Ranger 570, Sportsman 570 (2014–2018), Ace 570 (2016–2018)
• Thread/size: 50mm diameter, 1.5mm pitch, left‑hand (reverse) thread, female mount

How does the reverse thread design help during flywheel removal?

The left‑hand (reverse) thread prevents the extractor from unthreading when the crank is rotated in its normal direction during removal. The central, self‑seating thread holds the tool tightly against the flywheel hub so force transfers evenly and reduces the chance of slippage or scoring.

• Reverse thread matches factory flywheel threading for these Polaris models
• Self‑seating central design stabilizes the tool under load
• Reduces risk of thread galling and hub damage compared to improvised methods

What materials and maintenance steps increase the puller’s lifespan?

Sporthfish builds this puller from high‑strength steel to resist bending or stripping under typical service loads. Simple preventative maintenance—light lubrication and proper storage—keeps threads sharp and prevents corrosion, preserving fit and safety.

• High‑quality steel construction for repeated professional use
• Apply lightweight oil to threads before and after use to reduce wear
• Wipe clean and store dry to avoid rust and maintain thread engagement

What should I check before buying and using this puller?

Confirm the flywheel thread size and direction on your vehicle, match the listed model years, and inspect the flywheel hub for damage. Using the correct thread pitch and left‑hand orientation is essential to avoid cross‑threading and component damage.

• Verify 50mm x 1.5 left‑hand female thread on your flywheel
• Compare vehicle year and model against the compatibility list above
• Use recommended lubricants and follow manufacturer torque/force guidance

Who is this for: This Sporthfish Flywheel Puller is aimed at mechanics, UTV owners, and DIY enthusiasts who maintain or rebuild Polaris Ranger, RZR, and Sportsman models covered in the fitment notes. It’s useful for routine maintenance, stator or crank repairs, and anyone replacing or inspecting engine timing components who needs a vehicle‑specific, durable extractor to avoid hub damage.
