Unless you want to go through all this again , replace all the axles with Rhino 2.0. My machine did the same thing, axles slammed into wheel bearings breaking them. Then the broken pieces destroy the knuckle and hub. The Rhino 2.0 axles have float built into them to prevent this. This was not an issue until i got bigger tires, which increased the loading on the axles.
Hahahaha I feel the pain. Was just at Windrock. On the way back to camp, on the last day, front bearing disintegrated on the connector trail. Looks almost exactly like this one. Bought a used hub off eBay (parted out machine), hoping it isn’t shit. My knuckle isn’t as bad as this one though, steel v aluminum FTW! hoping to save it, idk yet. Knuckle looks fine but can’t get the outer race out, about to go at it with a hacksaw… PS I’m laughing because we leave for MOAB in…. 3 weeks………. 😂
I'm in awe at polaris owners lol. Very determined bunch to keep thier machines running no matter how many times they fall apart. The mid 90s and then the early 2000s was the final straw for me. Sub par parts and sub par engineers
I get it, there’s definitely design flaws on this machine but other than that we’ve had good luck with Polaris. I don’t really pick favorites with brands, I’ll probably find a way to break anything.
Our group has machines of every stripe and we always end up doing repairs on the trail, no matter the machine. I’ve worked on all of them and my RZR is easily the easiest and least expensive one to work on. Like working on an old school square body pickup truck vs the crazy shit being produced these days…
Thank you!! I wish I knew haha I try to be consistent and I pump it out there on social medias but it seems like people don’t wanna hit that subscribe button!!
I’m not sure I lean one way or the other and when you research you can find a lot of arguments both ways. Personally we don’t grease. Both pro xps are running the hd bearings now and have done well. I’m thinking I will throw a few pumps in them this winter and see what happens.
Well you aren’t alone. Taking my hubs off my pro xp4 to do portals. My driver rear axle is also seized into the hub. I think passenger side may be, from what I’ve learned heat is needed because they’ve used green loctite on the splines. I’ve got two RCV axles coming for the rear today. Not putting loctite on my portals lol. It actually calls for grease instead. Gonna have a shop press out the axles from the hubs. I’ll keep the passenger side for a spare
Yeah it turned into a pain in the ass. The outer races on the aluminum knuckles all get green loctite, which I did again. On the splines I’ve been using grease. I think the only reason the passenger side rear wasn’t seized like that is because I’ve recently had it apart twice to change the axle seal.
just went to grease my bearings. pulled my bearing in half pulling hub off. now I'm waiting on a bearing before a trip to hatfield. Saw you guys at badlands last weekend too!
You should use anti seize on the hubs to the bearings as well as the axles into the front diff and transmission save you from headaches when u have to tear it apart next time...
That’s what I used seemed to work ok on the fronts. The passenger rear gave me some issues so the last time I changed to axle seal I tried grease. Everything on the passenger side slid right apart. I’m not sure how it will last over longer period of time but we’ll see!
Wow now that’s a ton of work , good that you have a press ,but man that’s to much bull💩 right there . Well I hope that fixes it and it has no more problems on your trip .. I have the 2021 pro ultimate like dudes n I have almost 600 miles on mine and have had none of those problems, in fact this is my 4 rzr and never had those kind of issues wow , trade your machine in and get a Pro R and be done with it lol 😂
Thanks, I hope so too! I think part of it is the different hubs on the 21 and up. Dude’s got over 1000 miles and has had zero bearing issues. Lol with the pro r….. Steph would kill me and we live near Wisconsin and they have a 64 inch width limit that’s why we all have 64’s.
@@SomewhatHaggard well there’s nothing wrong with 64 inch machines really 69 wide , I m out in Las Vegas I m not aware of any limits out here , some of the trails are tight n kinda glad I m on a 64 , a lot of are riding friends turbo s n the 72 can ams n I know they handle better but super tight on the trials good for dunes , man my wife would kill me if I traded my bike for a Pro R 😂😂 with all mine cost and all what I have put into it already , keep telling her it’s a more safer machine baby and it will be the last one 😂😂
