Cheers mate, helped a bunch. First time tearing one down so this gave us a good idea of what's going on.
That bearing that disintegrated while you were removing it was shot before I disassembled. Had to get an air hammer on the sucker.

Glad I could help

On that needle bearing clean it good then drop a nut in there and tack it to the race where the nut points touch the needle bearing case. Then thread in a section of all thread rod, don't bugger up the nut threads with your tack welds. Use a plate over the diff housing end with a hole drilled. Screw on a nut until it is down on the plate then keep going until the needle bearing housing is pulled out. I use a mig welder to do the tack welds.

For bearings in tight spots I weld something to them then use a slide hammer.

I've never understood why they call it a differential if it's not a differential... Do any of you know if there is a modification to apply a real differential to a sportsman 850? Is the sportsman touring equipped with a differential or a simple bevel gear like this?

I also have a Polaris sportsman highlifter 1000 and on the website you put in the link it says it doesn’t fit

The rebuild kit?

@@chasebossett6762 gotta cross reference the scrambler part numbers and they're the same. And if you search for that All Balls # on other sites it lists the sportsman.

Kind of burns the nostrils

@@OleNasty79 so when was the last time u changed that fluid lol

[@OleNasty79]

@@ProjectVengeance I change diff fluids before just about every ride. Mostly because the seals leak so bad. It probably would have looked a lot better if I weren't lazy and did it AFTER every ride instead of letting water and sh*t stay in there.
