Recurring hub problem - 2000 500 Scrambler
Hi everyone,
I have had my front right hub engaging at low speeds for not reason. Orginally I had drained, cleaned and replaced the hub fluid (did this in the winter). This seemed to solve the issue for the time being only to return shortly after. I changed the hub fluid about a week ago as the problem had come back, this again stopped the issue temporarly. I didn't notice any hub fluid on the rim either so I don't believe it is leaking. I have a service manual and intend to disassemble the hub tomorrow. What should I be looking for? What typically causes, this issue? (The hub engages randomly in 2x4 and 4x4 modes. Is this problem common to all polaris machines?
When I orginally experienced the problem I noticed that the fluid was gritty, and when I would rub a rag on the inside of the hub I noticed a rust colour (probably rust).
Hopefully I have provided everyone with enough information.
Thanks alot everyone, you have always given me great advice.
Jim.

I removed the brake caliper and the clicking stopped. I noticed one of the brake shoes moving up slightly when the click would occure. I imagine adjusting the brake shoes would solve this problem. Let's hope it's the solution to my right wheel pulling.

I finally got a chance to take my hub apart. I am currently looking at the armature plate, it is black in colour except for 2 rings on the smooth side. The black was rubbed off in those two spots. Could this be part of my problem?
I can take pictures of components if you would like.
Thanks again.
