It does not come with one.

It takes a 19mm (3/4) thin wall, deep well socket. The one I had, I had to turn down so it would fit. The maximum OD of the socket is stated in the service manual, but I do not remember what the dimension was. You can measure one of the lug nut holes.


Polaris has one listed in there catalog or your dealer may keep them in stock.

 

Thanks! I have a 19mm socket in my on-board toolkit already, but I'll have to check that it fits. It's a 3/8" drive socket. I think I'll throw in a 1/2" drive socket also since the owner's manual says that the lug nuts are to be torqued to 120 ft/lbs front/rear. I'm not sure my 3/8" socket wrench could do 120 ft/lbs without a cheater pipe.

I checked the torque before my first ride but that was with my garage tools, not the on-board kit.

 

I meant to state that you need a thin wall deep well 19mm socket.
I personally only torque mine to 80 ft/lbs front and rear. The 120 is too much in my opinion.

 

I agree on the 19mm socket. However, I believe in torquing hardware to the proper torque values as recommended by the Manufacturer. For the 900 the Owners manual and shop manual call for 120 Ft lbs.

 

I do understand what you are saying, but most automotive MFG's service manual calls for 75/85 ft/lbs on lug nuts and lug bolts and they are larger (1/2 or 13mm) than the Ranger. I believe the 120 ft/lbs will stress the studs, stretch the threads, that will lead to galling or breakage. The tensile strength on the studs is not very high.

 

Aluminum rims require a tighter torque than stamped steel wheels. To each his own, but I follow the torque values what the manufacturer calls for. Never have had a problem with galling, stretching or breakage

Here is a randomly selected chart off google.
TORQUE VALUE CHART FOR WHEEL STUDS.
7/16" dia. 50 to 60 lb-ft
12mm dia. 70 to 80 lb-ft
1/2" dia. 80 to 90 lb-ft
5/8" dia. 110 to 125 lb-ft

These are dry torque values.

Looking at some different websites general rule of thumb for torque values.
Steel 80 ft/lbs
Alum 100ft/lbs

 

I bought a used Honda civic scissor jack and lug wrench it all fits under seat works great!
