To add info and maybe help someone. On my ‘19 turbo 4 seater, you had to remove that heat shield and loosen the 10mm bolt that holds the coolant lines. Once you’ve separated the center it all slides out nicely. The rear came out the rear and the front come out the bottom. I did pull the clutch cover but don’t know if it was necessary. Only plastic that needed removed was the console in the back seat. I also used a 15mm wrench to loosen the drinker side carrier bolt from the bottom.
If you have a RZR 1000S, BEWARE. The rear shaft doesn't magically (not actually shown being removed) come out like they say in the video. It might come out the bottom but not sure of that either. Also, be very careful pressing out the u-joints, the yokes bend easily.
It came out just like the video on my 2021 xp 1000 did everything just like the video except for installing a new pin in front.....I used a 5/16 fine threaded bolt with lock nut and red loctite.
Muy buen video mi compa 🫡
The metal around the actually bearing would stay on the bearing. I removed them. I couldn’t get the rubber boot on because of them sliding off the bearing.
Of course you did it thst easy
Yeah, ours was pretty easy but we didn't have any corrosion to deal with. Are you having problems with something? -Charles
On the transmission output shaft it doesn't matter if it's lined up I'm assuming don't need to mark
Yeah, like the video says, the marks are just to phase (u-joints all lined up correctly). Front needs to line up with the roll pin holes, rear doesn't matter.
Watching you easily remove that roll pin makes me wanna slap my grandma 🤦🏻♂️
No doubt I'm trying to get my drive shaft out now and that roll pin is giving me fits..
Once you get roll pin out. Replace it with a stainless 5/16 bolt and lock nut
I did took out the roll pin (RZR 1000S) with an air hammer and it still took about 2 hours before it finally let loose. Definitely not an easy task.
I've seen on other videos for the RZR 1000 XP, that there is a metal shield over the rear portion of the Front Prop shaft that needed to come out before back half of the front Prop shaft will come out.. Is that metal shield not required to be removed?
I did it without removing. It was a rear pain.
Same procedure on an XP4 1000?
Time to get shafted
Sooo...you’re just going to put that junk factory style carrier on that new prop shaft? 🤦♂️
Depends on how you ride. Rzrs in our Group got 3- 4k on them no problems. I only replaced mine because it was out for u joints at 2800 miles.
Mine just shit the bed at 3600 miles. Going with an oem.
Nothing wrong with that. I just sleep better when I can put a couple squirts grease in it after a day in the swamp
@@WilleJamesHuff how do you get so many miles outa it?? mine is at 350 and needs a replacement
@@floridamangonwild it depends on how it’s drove honestly. I worked at a Polaris dealer. I seen completely one side to the other of abuse and hard riding and then ones taken care of and not abused.
