10 years of experience working on polaris, I can assure that 9/10 times, the rear cv axles will NOT just slide out. 90% of the time you are going to fight it to death to get them out.
Yeeeppppp. Just tore the CV axle apart pulling on it trying, I repeat, trying to get it out. The axle shaft pulled out of the CV Joint at the transmission. . . Has not budged. . . Crud. . . I have even put pry bars behind it to try and get it to pop out. Nope. . . Dynamite?
Replaced my rear bushings this past weekend. It took my over an hour to get the left axle out. Kicked my ass. I was soooo glad the right side only took about 4 pulls.
Old vid but still helps, I have a honda 420 and it's pretty used up and I need to replace mine the boot came off and it was slinging oil so I got a new one but couldn't get it out nothing mad since bit the very first tension pin for the hub I seen you take off now makes since , thanks

I have a 2013 sportsman 500. Should there be a groove for the ring to sit in? Mine is smooth behind the spline. Does the ring on the axle just lock behind that spline?
Managed to get the axle out without taking the hub off. Took all the bolts out, seems to be hung up on the bushings. Any help? Would be easier to get back in with the hub off. Thanks, Rich. 68 Camaro No Mouse 2
Mike Flynn ,I the same situation, I welded two chains and tried pulling with two 3/4 ton trucks in 4wd, ended up just pulling the trucks back and fourth.... at that point I just bought another used one on ebay.
I have a 2014 Sportsman 570 and the rear axle literally snapped in half. So I cant get a grip like you did to pull it out. Any suggestions on how to do it?
I heard there is a tool that can be used, but it is like $100. I had a friend pull on it and I was able to put a small crow bar behind where the axle goes into the differential. While my friend pulled, I pried. It takes a lot to pull it out.
Eps MonsterFilms Had the same thing happen to mine. What I did was I welded a piece of square tubing onto the round cylinder part near the differential. Then I welded another piece of flat bar to the square tubing so that I could hammer it out. Worked well. Also just an FYI don't buy a cheap after market CV axle. They are not made to specs and some will not stay seated in the diff.
I would start with the easy things (not that you haven't already). Check to make sure that it is the correct axle. Check that the clip is in the axle. Make sure the hole is clean and unobstructed. Maybe grease the splines a little to ensure that the shaft is sliding all the way in.
Less than 2 minutes long and confirmed exactly what I thought. This is how these videos should be made, thanks!
Now that's how you make a video. Short, sweet, and to the point.

Yes, I agree
@@Bigkidpowersports yea the lower part of my hub says' not today and that's both sides

I wish all repair video were like this. Thanks!
Love it. "Dont over think it" Video is clear, well explained and planned.

Oh yea.....I left the hub on. Really no reason to take it off.
Loved your video. We have the Polaris RZR XP 1000 and Wildcat X ATV's and we love them, they are well built and hold up incredibly well on our tour.
Very simple and easy thank you for the showing up will help out immensely 😁👍
Thanks for making this less than a 20 minute video. Great Job! Thanks.
Thanks for the demonstration...clear and simple. Well done.
Thanks for having everything read to come off . Good info
Thanks
Simple and best explanation video. Thanks!
Appreciate the vid... saved my boy a bunch of time...
Well done. That looks easy... here I go.. It's 5:30 on September 28th.. time me.
Are you done yet?
I need to do this on mine. Was it relatively easy?
Most of them dont come out that easy the axle breaks off of cup and you have just the cup Its a real pain on some
Yep... JUST happened to me.
How did you get the cup out?
Lol I’ve never had one come off that easy!!
Excellent video. Thank you

Hello! Are the rear cv axles the same length for 00/04 models ?thanks for your time
I have a 2013 sportsman 500. Should there be a groove for the ring to sit in? Mine is smooth behind the spline. Does the ring on the axle just lock behind that spline?
Yes the set ring just locks past the splines. Pop it in and tug on it.
Mine is stuck any suggestions on how to get out
thank u for that .. pretty simple job glad to know

Can I replace u joints axle from a 1999 Polaris 334 with a solid axle
Is it the same cv axle between a 98 and an 02 sprtsman 500?
Good video, no bs 🙏🏻👍💯🙌🏻
yeah come take mine out. I'v welded chains to mine and pulled it with a atv yanked it several times its stuck in there good. any ideas?
Mike Flynn ,I the same situation, I welded two chains and tried pulling with two 3/4 ton trucks in 4wd, ended up just pulling the trucks back and fourth.... at that point I just bought another used one on ebay.
I dont know how long i looked around for a video showing how to do this
This video helped a lot.
When removing the axle from the trans, you're just yanking it hard back towards you, right?
push in and then pull back hard.
Question: How do you make it stay back in? I put mine back with the snap ring, securely seated - and it still pops off when riding.
Are you sure it was pushed in all the way? There is not a whole lot to them. Do you have the correct shaft?
Thanks for reply..I think I got it..if its not fully seated (which required a few good hits with rubber mallet) it wont hold..back to tearing it up :)
Does the new one go in easy?
Mine is not coming out. Tried not to overthink it but it won't budge
You can pry on it a bit but watch how you touch the case. 2 pry bars so the axle is getting pressure straight out.

Eps MonsterFilms have any luck on your axle ?????same thing i can't ... pull it out...

I just paid $524 to have this done.
great video . do you have one on replacing ready ujoint
Size of the castle nut?
The bottom of my hub must be stuck because it isn't coming out
DO NOT YANK ON THE AXLE YOU WILL BREAK IT (found this out the hard way)
is it the same on the left
So any ideas if the new axle will not stay inserted when it starts to turn it backs out.
I would start with the easy things (not that you haven't already). Check to make sure that it is the correct axle. Check that the clip is in the axle. Make sure the hole is clean and unobstructed. Maybe grease the splines a little to ensure that the shaft is sliding all the way in.
Did you get it figured out?
Will it hurt to leave the lock ring out?
The lock ring is what keeps it snug in the diff
Thought i remembered right juspull out after hub
