Just did one wheel yesterday. Went well, appreciate you saying what size the nuts are. I’m in the habit of gathering all the tools I need before I start rather than up & down back & forth to the tool box! Thanks again.
Thanks Man! Glad it worked for you. I never had to changed a bearing in the 6000kms that I owned the machine, greasing them really helps.
Nice job, helped when you called out the Wrench/Socket sizes.
Thanks Man!
That's a pretty sweet greaser! Bearing should last quite a long time now. Well done Rob.
Ya, hopefully if I keep up the grease in them, they will last for quite awhile! Thanks for watching KC@
I just did mine when I put the demon shafts in, each bearing took a literal 20+ pumps in each one. The tool I got is red and got it from amazon. Worked like a charm. I switched to the demons cuz the factory can am boots kept splitting in the creases for no god damn reason, good thing brp doesnt make condoms.
LOL!
Lol
Awesome video I've always wondered how to grease those bearings it's something you don't think about until it's too late thank you for the video.
Ya, I'm used to doing it the old fashion way by hand but this little tool seems to do the trick nicely! Thanks for watching Drew!
Really cool tool. These machines take a ton of abuse! Keeping joints greased is crucial. Thanks for the info!
Thanks Dale! It's all about keeping the machines maintained.
I never knew about that tool . Thanks Rob .
I had heard about them and finally decided to get one, seems to do the job! Thanks for watching Man!
Looks like a good idea to grease those bearings. Just wish they made it easier to do it. Good video 👍👍
Seems to be the trick, not sure if there's an easier way or not but it's actually not to bad once you figure things out! Glad you liked the video, thanks for tuning in!
Very well done thank you. I’m doing mine in a few days..
Thanks Man! The more times you grease the bearings the longer they will last. I got 6,000kms out of mine before selling the machine and they were still good!
Tigertail makes a bearing greaser that you can leave the axles in place. Just take the nut off the axle and slide the greaser in and apply grease. Saves alot of extra work especially in the rear axles.
Sorry not tigertail. It's called Tiger Tool.
Interesting, would save some work but it's a pretty simple job once you get used to it! Thanks for the info and tuning in Man!

Tiger tool only for Polaris or maverick x3
A while back they had one advertised for can am atv’s. They don’t show it on their website anymore. It probably didn’t work lol.
It's good to see that you are practicing on yours first Rob before you do mine LOL Good job!
LOL! Ya, it's all a learning process for me so that you can learn from my mistakes! LOL! Thanks for tuning in Cubbee! Hope you are feeling better Man!
Great video Rob. I bought one of these tools off EBAY and it arrived in 2 days. Paid $32 but. Going downstairs and will tackle my Outlander Max 1000 and then onto the Max 650. Thanks for putting this video together. On the wheel grease part.......I called our local Can Am dealer and asked if they had a part like this after market greaser. Of course the answer was no. I totally subscribe to the belief that they make some parts to "fail" so that people have to come into the shop and pay the $130+/hrs to do the work for a simple process. Again, awesome video. Time for greasing........lol
Thanks Man! Glad the vid helped! Good luck with the maintenance and Happy Trails!
Yeah, I called my dealer, and the parts dept didn't know anything about the tool nor could they find it in the computer. I told them to ask the service dept. They knew about it, didn't have one, and said to search online. I suppose you could do this with a needle attachment on the grease gun, and slip it in past the seal. This tools is so much faster, and taking the bearing hub off is pretty simple.
I just finished up all 4 corners on my Maverick this weekend. Yea it is a lot but well worth it...
Awesome, definitely worth the effort!
Keep the vids like these coming. Thank you!
Thanks Mark!
Great vid man. Thanks!
Thanks Adam!
Great video, Thanks Rob
Thank You, glad you liked the vid!
How did you ever get water in there LOL.
I got to get at mine here in the next little bit..
Thanks again for sharing..
Sitting in swamps for too long I think! LOL! Very little grease put in there from the factory I'm sure...took 18 pumps each to fill them, crazy! Thanks for watching Marc!
Good info ... Thanks for shar'in !!!
Glad you found it interesting, thanks for checking the video out Gunny!
Thanks for sharing! Got a video detailing greasing the rear? Cheers!
I have a tear apart vid of the rear...unbolt the shocks and sway bars, drop the swing as low as you can and should be able to push and pull the end of the axle out of the arm. Thanks for watching!
Rob Farrow ATV Thanks.. just looking at it great! How many miles did you have on your quad when you decided your wheel bearings should be greased?? Mines at 1000miles now, took quite a few pumps for the front (12 )with quite a lot of water present.
Mine had about 3000km (1800 miles) I don't think they fully grease them at the factory!
Looks pretty straight forward to do this. From Ebay (ala china) the WB Service Tool is $8. Hopefully it is the correct size (30mm) and I can do all my bearings.
I believe when I measured mine it was 28 or 29mm, so hopefully yours will work...it definitely increases the life of the bearings! Good luck Bill!
@@RobFarrowATV I am seeing conflicting messages on the size. Can-Am forums say 30mm. Amazon.ca shows 28mm (www.amazon.ca/293350040-Maverick-Commander-Defender-Outlander/dp/B07D3S1XHH). $8 I can lose. What might bother me is that it is coming from China, which can be 2 weeks or 2 months or never. 2 weeks or 2 months and it works, fine. After waiting and it doesn't fit, then I am pissed.
I put a metric tape measure on it and with my old failing eyes it looks to read either 28 or 29mm...best I can do.
Success. The bearing greaser from Ebay/China worked perfectly. And like everybody else, over 20 pumps from the grease gun.
@@canamrider7195 that's great, glad it worked!
Great video. I had someone tell me by pumping so much grease into a sealed bearing that it's coming out you've just blown the seal. Have you had any issues?
No issues, grease comes out between the seal and the metal insert, not blowing the seal! Not pumping hard enough to damage anything either! Thanks for checking out the vid!
I think once you see it stop. If you keep pumping and pumping you might upset the seal. Some say two pumps is enough, but you can’t trust it unless you see it. Worse case replace the bearings.
Once you see grease, stop, Wipe off the excess and your golden..
Can you do a video for the rear? I put 16 pumps each side in front. I think I'll have to remove the trailing arm frint mount to get the axle out.
Ya the easiest way is to remove the arms...i have videos tearing apart the rear end for other reasons that would show it. Good luck!
Guy gave me a set of bearing packers when I bought my renegade but I think he said they were $50 new.
Nice! Ya, I paid 50 for one...works well though. Still a lot of work to gease the bearings! LOL! Thanks for watching!
Hey there Rob great video, just wondering if you know how to turn off the maintenance required that comes up on the screen??? I have a 2017 650 outlander max xt. I watched a couple videos on UA-cam but they didn't work for me. I'd appreciate you thoughts. Changing bearings now so this video helped out alot thanks. 👍
Hey Glenn, thinking that the dealer will have to reset it with their "buds" program...I never had any notices come up on my '16 ever. Good Luck Man!
After you removed the shock, it looks like something else is hanging undone. My upper control arm will not go up high enough to remove the axle. Am I missing something? Outlander 650 Max XT. Thank you!
Tie rod has to come off, also the whole shock has to come off in order to raise the upper arm high enough. The lower arm with the ball joint gets knocked down in order for the upper assembly to move up to release the axle. Good luck Chris!
@@RobFarrowATV Thanks Rob!
Where you buy the greaser?
I believe it was from a guy named Steve Leitch on the Facebook group "Can-Am Renegade and Outlander", about $50cdn Thanks for watching Juan.
Tried to do the rear bearing grease today, of my 2020 outlander max,...can't get cv joint out far enough to get greaser tool in...took of shock and sway bar still no good..any ideas??
It's a tight fit without taking the swing arm off. You have to pull the rear diff as far back as it will go and then work the arm and axle at different angles to get it out. Easier to take the swing arm off. Good luck!
Question, if these are sealed bearings on the newer atv models what is this greasing doing? Just wondering if I need to do this on my 2017 outlander 570, I was told the bearings are sealed so is the grease just getting smushed around In there and performing a function?
If these are truly sealed bearings, I wonder where the 18 pumps of grease went to! LOL! I don't know the answer to your question, except that the 2016's aren't truly sealed...
Do you remove the inner bearing seal or does the grease just push its way through it?
I don't force the issue but grease will make it's way thru...if I feel lots of resistance I stop, usually I'll start to see the grease pushing out and stop. The greaser is designed to push grease in between the two bearing races.
thanks
Glad you liked the vid Jose!
You can get the same Grease tool on eBay for $10
Thanks for letting me know Jason and thanks for tuning in!
...im really hoping/waiting for another nice trail exploring vid of you rob! - somt. enough of all this mudhole vids in yout. :-()
We'll be doing some trail rides soon, been a long cold winter up here and we're just getting started! Thanks for tuning in Izom!
rob... do you think that bearing greaser will do all kind of atv like polaris ..yamaha and so on ? as long if same size
This one is made for Can Am Outlanders but you can get one made for your specific ATV...but if it is the same size I would think it would work. Thank for tuning in!
ok my buddy name fred got can am outlander 1000vtwin
i think i will get that for him
I have a 2021 Renegade XMR 1000r. What's the part number for the wheel bearing greaser?
I don't think there's a part number. You can get them on Amazon, I think they are 28mm but best to make sure before you purchase. The outlander and rene should have the same size bearings. I added grease at least once a year and the factory bearings ran 6,000kms and were still going strong when I sold it last year.
Do you have a link to buy that greaser ??
@@sterss361 No I never got a link. Due for bearing work. Would love to get a link myself.
Where does the dust cap go
I took the dust caps off the axles, seems to just gather dirt and grind it in there.
Is it the same tool for the rear?
Ya, fits both front and rear bearings...seems you can find a selection of them on Amazon now.
How big is the greaser 30 mm?
28 or 29mm I believe...
Where did u get the greaser from rob? Great vid how to take it apart.
Greaser is from Steve Leitch on Facebook, $50. Seems to do a decent job of greasing! Thanks for watching!
Do you know the diameter of the tool?
I don't remember exactly but 30mm comes to mind...there's lots on ebay, should be able to pick the right one you need.
Well I'm back again watching .. guess what I'm doing today?
LOL! You must be really bored? LOL! Thanks for watching Marc!
@@RobFarrowATV actually I needed the proper information and your video had that information I needed.
So I appreciate you taking the time to make it and sharing it..
No problem Marc! Good luck!
Where i can buy this greaser. I am from germany
Steve Leitch on Facebook was the guy I bought it from...I think he hangs out around one of the Can Am Facebook pages, Can Am Outlanders or Canadian Can Am Monsters, something like that! You should be able to track him down, good luck Sebastian! Thanks for tuning in!
ms-raceparts
I just found one on eBay for 13$
Nice find!
eBay $15
Thanks Dustin! Thanks for tuning in!
I bought mine from Amazon
They all work pretty good...
Hey could you send me the link of it please , I’m having trouble finding the greaser , thanks in advance
@@JesusGarcia-yv8kc look up mod shop they carry them
i’d just replace and grease the new bearing anyway lol
Eventually I'll need to replace the bearing for sure!
AMAZON $ 25.00
I refuse to take anything of mine to the stealership for anything, i do my shit myself
Yep! Learning your machine also makes the chance of being stranded in the bush much less...if you bring some tools! LOL!
@@RobFarrowATV ive built a ton of trucks in the past, this is just smaller, lol
