I have a 2005 sportsman 500 6×6. I’m doing a middle axle rebuild but I couldn’t get the chains apart. I had enough play in the axles to slip the chain off but going back together that axle will not move enough to get the chain back on.

Anyone know how to seperate the chain? I found the master link on each one and removed the locking tab. but I can’t get the pins to push out using a punch. Is there a Special Polaris tool for this? or does anyone have a YouTube video somewhere?
