Scrambler 500 leaking front hubs

Seals
Thank you sir! That raises two questions if you don't mind. So, like most people, i'd like to tear into it just once. Should I replace the seals in the struts as well? And if so, is this the correct part number for that 3610028? And correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm OK to tap in the struts seals myself, but I need to have the hub seals Pressed in, right? I have new Armature plates and O-rings for the end caps I plan to put in as well..
Hub seals are worn. Unless the hubs have run completely dry over a period of time you can usually save the bearings and races. Hub seals can be knocked out but has to be pressed in or you can damage the new seal.FRONT WHEEL HUB CLUTCH SEAL Fits POLARIS 3610019 eBay

My two cents is to replace the strut seals also since you'd have it pretty well torn down.No sense in having to go back in later and replace them when they start leaking. Yes 3610028 is the correct part #. When you replace them first make a mark around the strut where the original seal stops to use as a guide on the new seal.Usually about an 1/8" past flush on the inner strut casting. Seals set too deep can leak. You can use a simple bearing/race installer on setting the strut seal. Again the hub seal needs to be pressed in.
