  • We just picked up this 1999 Yamaha Wolverine 350cc 4x4 ATV for $800. It had an unidentified noise in the bottom end or rear differential that the previous owner was destined to be an expensive fix. But here is how to fix a nasty growling grinding noise on your Yamaha ATV (Big Bear, Kodiak, Wolverine)
    In this video, we take apart disassemble the rear axle, rear disk brake, and rear differential and replace the left wheel bearing in the diff housing as well as the right rear bearing in the disk brake housing of the rear swingarm. It was an easy job and only took about $100 in parts to complete.
    Now we need to replace the top head gasket - Stay Tuned!

    If you have the rear differential apart, Please replace the two seals. I can't believe he put the old seals back in. Second they should have put a little grease in that inner needle bearing. One more thing is never use a torque wrench to remove nuts and bolts, unless it's junk and you will not be relying on it to measure torque.

      all solid advice - i couldnt get the seals from the dealer and they said it could be weeks so
      i took a chance and reused the old ones. At this point i wasnt even sure if i actually fixed the noise and was eager to get it back together.

      @@squidsquaw i couldnt get the seals - wanted to get my bike back together - i didnt bend them taking them out and they fit back in no problem and no leaks. So in my case i didnt need new seals. Obviously for such a low cost part, if you can get new seals replace them. They can be damaged on removal and the rubber does get harder over time so wont seal as good as fresh rubber

    My big bear 350 was making a grinding noise coming from the left rear wheel, thought it was axle splines but it turned out to be the rear wheel just not being tightened enough and the pin was through it so you could not tighten it, took the pi out and tightened it now the sound is gone😂

      @mudbrats  3 місяці тому

      I didn’t have one, and I wasn’t sure that this was the fix. At the time I was doing this, I was under the assumption from the previous owner that there was a major problem in the gearbox. My hunch was the rear end and I was right. But at this time, the seals weren’t included in the kit and I just wanted the unit back together to test. Seals were in good condition and 3yrs later still no leaks so I a, happy with the decision. If I even need to do it again, I will be ordering seals
