It never hurts to rub a little grease on the pulley side bearing as long as you have it open. I doubt Polaris put any extra in when the swing arm was replaced.
last time I was in mine bearings I installed a grease zerk on the swing arm and now able to give a few shots when I change the engine oil. Don't want to overdo it so a few times a year is good

If I ever take mine apart a zerk will definitely be installed. It's odd that they aren't standard. But i suppose someone would over do it and screw up the speed sensor on the other side.
you could but your putting transferring that offset blow to the bearings. The puller keeps a steady even pull and no shock.
No! I greased the bearings before the swing arm recall, I have not greased the bearings since the swing arm recall. The sprocket side is a two piece needle bearing and easy to grease when you pull the axle. The wheel side is a double ball bearing with a split inter race and you can shoot grease or use your fingers to press grease into the opening between the two inter races.

FunCycle i think you read this wrong, I was saying you shouldn't hit the sprocket with a hammer and to use a puller to keep from putting unnecessary shock or one sided pull on bearings and surfaces

Wooden Mallet
Standard wheel bearing grease or “special “ grease?
I used the high Temp Lucas
