2017 polaris sportsman 450 ho starter sprag bearing stuck

[huanchaco]

My starter clutch bearing has finally gone bad after 25000 miles. I still have to make a flywheel puller before checking the damage,so my question is:

What are the odds,beside the bearing, that the inner contact surface on the gear itself is still in good condition? Does it generally survive?

I can order the bearing shipped to Peru ,but there's very little offer on ebay for the gear, besides being pretty expensive from Polaris oem parts.

Thanks in advance for any information

i like to use Master Blaster penetrating fluid and a electric heat gun to try to help remove stuck parts
