Hello from NC

New to the site. Aircraft Mechanic from Greensboro, NC. Just got my first side by side, 2017 X3 xds, and loving it. Got on here to get some info since I’m new to this and hoping to find people to ride with in the NC area.

another 4 wheel drive question

ok i’ve been dealing with this since i’ve bought the quad, but recently it has been getting worse, it’s a 2000 scrambler 500 H.O. 4×4

99% of the time when I first start the quad and turn the AWD on it works perfectly both front wheels lock in and spin. However sometimes when shifting from drive to reverse or reverse to drive the light will not come back on and I lose the 4 wheel drive. If I sit and play with it (shifting back and forth from reverse to drive, switching the AWD on and off or even shutting the quad off and back on) the AWD light will come back on and work perfectly for a little then it will happen again. I have eliminated the trans switch since I have neutral and reverse lights, have changed all fluids multiple times and have tired the YouTube "fix" of splicing the ground wires and connecting to solenoid. All that did was make the AWD light come, no front wheel spin.

Any help with this would be GREAT!!!

2009 DS 250 Chain adjuster seized? Wont budge.

The manual says "Loosen chain tensioner lock bolts and
caliper support bolt." The chain tensioner lock bolts are completely removed. The caliper support bolt does not exist and even if it did I have no idea what it would be loosening. With a screwdriver through the sprocket and hub holes, I can ram it forwards and backwards but it will not budge. The axle bearing carrier is loose enough in the swing arm housing that I can wobble the whole axle bearing carrier in the housing. It seems like the bearing carrier and the caliper support bracket are seized together. As a matter a fact, they look like all 1 piece.

Am I missing something here? The caliper support bracket should rotate on the axle bearing carrier right?

This should be so simple but it will not move.

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
