These are the steps I took to install a HPD Chain Tensioner on my 2005 Polaris Scrambler. I’ve had the part laying around since August of 2005 but today finally seemed like the right time to install it and I had my buddy Jay and Dad around to help out, which made it all a lot easier.
Secured, prepped and ready for wrenching
We removed the wheel for easy access and we removed the stock chain guard as per the installation instructions
The stock tab cut easily and cleanly with a Sawzall
I retained the stock hardware just in case
I released the spring from the arm to ease test fitting
Still test fitting, checking the zirk clearance
Marked the holes
Measurements from the sprocket guard
Mine had a score mark that lined up with the bottom of the swing arm
Clearance from the bottom of the swing arm
Clearance between the chain and the zirk
Successfully installed!
