This is an older Polaris Trailboss 4x4 - pre electric engage - with full time AWD (no switch). I just rebuilt the hubs and everything was working great. Earlier this week, when plowing snow, I could see the left front engaging in both forward and reverse, but the left front will only engage in forward. I'm getting stuck all the time pushing snow - and it's tough getting out when the front left is the traction wheel and it won't spin. Fluid level is correct in both fronts. Any ideas? Do I need to re-torque the castle nut? Is there something else to look for?

Thanks.

yeah there is a special torque sequence for the hubs.

 

Does anyone know this special torque sequence? Let me straighten out my initial email. Left front always works - forward and reverse. Right front work going forward, but lately isn't locking in during reverse. I saw a chain earlier saying that only three wheels would spin, but I think that was denied. Fluid levels in both hubs are fine. Right front has been working better the last few times, but once in a while will still not engage in reverse. That's why I was wondering if it was a torque thing (someteims works, sometimes doesn't) or something else I did during the rebuild of the front hubs a month ago.

Thanks.
