I live in the mountains and make my living in the mountains digging roots and pulling tree barks. I have put 1700 miles on mine since March and this is August. We put a lot of miles on our machines around here, but as long as mai and not hot rodded everywhere they last a long while. That being said I just had a wheel bearing going bad. Mine is a 2013 model and only had 200 miles when I bought it in March. Thanks for vid
Thanks for a good vid. Tomorrow I get to try this on my 850. I need to change brakes to as they rubbed out. I had to ride an hr out of the mountains with a wheel wobbling as bad as yours.
That clip you are calling a c-clip is actually called a circlip (like circle clip). Not busting your chops but I thought i would throw it in there for you.
The hub bottoms out on the axle so you can not tighten the axle nut to tighten the wheel bearing. The problem with the Polaris wheel bearings is an engineering issue. There should be two additional seals for each wheel bearing, an inner and outer. The bearing seals are not designed to take the large amount of dirt and rocks being jammed between them and the hub or cv cup. So having additional seals would better protect the bearings from debris. Guess that's the kind of engineering you get for $5k.
80 km/hr? you should probably have a sport bike, not a 4X. I usually get up to 50km/hr tops sometimes on the fsr's. but most my miles are exploring around on the trails. but it seems many use their 4X4 machines like they are dirt bikes, racing them around and jumping with them. not surprising then when stuff breaks.
Why is it that every Tom, Dick , & Harry who makes a vid about repairing something , no matter their qualifications want you to join their 2bit channel??????
@@starpuss hmmm i guess these days I'm in the minority of guys that wears steel toes in an environment when theres a fairly high chance of smashing a toe. Ah whatever makes you comfortable I guess...
@@starpuss Ya i hear ya! ive just never been a sandal or any kind of open shoe kind of guy but to be honest I do love to walk barefoot in the grass! And I did rebuild a 250 two stoke top-end barefoot once lol. But at work I had no choice.

Hey. Thanks for the video. I did my front bearings today and they went well with help of your vid.

You missed covering a lot of the dismantling.. ?
Wheres the place that you got that puller from that you using

Great vid! Can i make a suggestion? We the viewer need to see the parts you cut out, get a tripod. Other than that thanks for the help!
skip to at least 4:00 .... :D
put bearing in freezer for about 1/2 hour... it will drop right in...no hammering needed
If you grease these bearings they will not fail. Ebay sales the tools for about $17.00 a lot cheaper than bearings.
a part of my bearing got stuck in the hub lol. basically no lip to hit on, its a bear...
Smackin the back of what? For chrissake...🤷♂️
