Can anyone tell me if I remove the cover off my front hub and remove the axel nut if it can be removed without disturbing the armateur and bearings.I have to replace the cv boot on the left,and I can't find any diagrams that clearly show what has to be done.I've looked on the Partsland site and the picture is great but still no real help as to what can stay and what has to be removed to complete my task.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Bodean 02 Sportsman 500HoX [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

When my cv pulled apart while doing spring work on right side the nut did need to come apart along with bearings and armature. I laid them in line as I took them out as there were quite a few parts in there. It actually worked when I put it back together. Main thing is note how comes apart.

 

The wheel bearings are smaller I.D than the cv bearings. It kinda helps if you turn the key on,4wd engaged, when you put the armature plate back on. Remember 8.5 ft lbs. NO MORE. 10 is to much
