Good To Know

Q: Will this sprag work on my 2007 Rhino 450 4WD? A: This assembly is listed for the YXR45F 4WD from 2006 through 2009, so a 2007 model falls within that range. Verify the year and model code on your machine before ordering.

Q: Do I need to replace the cover gasket during the job? A: Yes, the housing cover should be resealed each time it is opened to prevent oil leaks. This set includes the cover gasket so the reassembly can be completed in one step.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
