You should edit the title to state “non pound off cv joint” or something to that nature. I watched two videos to try to learn how to replace the boot only that had pound off style axle joints. I struggled hard until I finally pulled out that ring clip and found the c-clip inside that I had been pounding against. Found this video after. Man I wish I would have watched this video first. Would have saved me a couple hours of stress. Awesome vid. Thank you.
This ended up being a disaster for me 😂 my old oem ones don’t have a clip to release the bearing housing from shaft. My aftermarket ones where able to separate those two but couldn’t get the bearings separately from the shaft itself and all the bearings blew everywhere when my last resort was pounding it out 😂😂😂😂
Great video. I have a 2008 polaris 700. Am trying to replace the rear inner cv boots but there are no c clips holding the joint together. Do I need to tap the bearing off the shaft like outer cv joints? Any help would be appreciated.
when I pulled the plunging joint off the race all my ball bearings fell out all over, how come your ball bearings stayed in the race and my didn't ? what did i do wrong, so much for putting them back in the same place..
I have a 2013 RZR eps; the front axel needs a CV boot replacement. Is the inboard boot and the outboard the same boot P/N or different like on the rear as shown in your video?
Alfred Ferrill The inner boot doesn't move as much as the front boot does especially when cornering that's why it has the extra fold in it. Hope that clears that up for you.
@jamesmiller7283 good, no issues, had to find some with slightly narrower bands then put on two in a series with the adjustment mechanisms on opposite sides for balance.
how didnt the bearing balls fall out when he took the inner off? mine did, r they bad? n should the metal that holds the bearings have hot spots, im told yes from factory, wasnt sure if they got too hot ?
Sounds like it's worn out! It's possible to remove the ball bearings by rotating the race and cage, but they shouldn't just fall out on their own. Haven't seen the "hot spots" but if it looks different than the race and cage we show in the video, it's probably bad. Sounds like your best bet is to buy a new CV axle. -Charles
@@rmatvmc ty! yea when we took off the inner to replace outer the balls fell out just holding it, n on google tons of pics with hotspots around the outer race ppl sayn factory does that but i think your right. only thing is it has low miles n the inner didnt leak grease, n i have no odd sounds.....?
I replaced the CV boots on the drivers rear axle but I'm having trouble reseating the rear axle into the rear gear box. I have not replace the spring clip. Could this be the issue? I had no trouble removing the axle at the start.
Yes! If you go to the links in the descriptions of our how-to videos, we always include links to all the tools that we used for the video. Sometimes there are tools we use that we don't sell, like an impact driver etc., but anything in the video we sell will be in the links!
@@rmatvmc hi n ty, that ring doesnt hav the 2 tiny holes for snprng liers, how do i remove?(didnt see that) also do u have that part number in case its not in my kit? n the boot prt nmbr would b grt as nothing matches the numbers on my stock one....ty
You may be able to use two flathead screw drivers to remove the retaining ring: one to hold one side and one pry the other side. Snap ring pliers can still be used even on circlips without the holes to help pry both ends apart. The part numbers with vary depending on your specific machines. You can use our OEM parts finder to locate the circlips you need. www.rockymountainatvmc.com/oem-parts
