Since we have 2 500's thats 8 boots so I needed to do the first torn 1 to see if I would do them or take it in to the dealer. After doing a forum search back a year I was prepared. After pulling it apart I have new respect for the way the Polaris is made, more than just the ride. It took me over 2 hours but the next time maybe 1/2 that. It's great to have a forum to read where members share information. Total cost -$39- shipping,boot kit and clamp tool. I have no idea how much I saved but it made me feel like summer was at last here in Colorado

 

I just had mine to the dealer for a warranty repair and when they put it up on the lift I noticed I had a torn boot on the back. I had them do it while I was there but I paid close attention to how it was done. He had it apart and back together pretty quick but I got the idea of how its done so I'll probably be replacing them from now on. The tech said you didnt need a tool for the clamps he just used a pair of side cuts. Where did you get the boot kit and tool?

 

congrats man !! the local dealer around here gets $86.00 for 1 hour and the parts like $30.00 add that up and thats real close!..i can do boots on mine ina bout a 1/2 hr..bet i have done12-15 on mine atlest 10 on my neighbors ..i bought a 5 year bumper to bumper but it wont cover a boot, so i got pretty good at them..most of my buds give me a case of bud-light to do the job,as they help drink it!!! and once agin you know it done right and tight because YOU did it!!! all you have to do is ask and i am sure someone here has done it and will throw some pointers..

just be hapry your cv did not look like this

 

You said 2-500 that's 8 boots................

Should that be 16 boots.........(8 per quad)................Caper..........

 

Now you see why I was happy I managed to get it done, an old man who can't even count. Thats right it's 16 boots total on 2.
Onesavage- thats ugly, how did you break it?
Rowe-Americancvstore.com, I ordered a kit and they sent me 2 packs of grease and 6 clamps, I think the extra was just in case. The clamp tool was $10 and did make it easy and quick for that part.
