The hub nut is torqued to 80-100 ft lbs, so unless the hub has loosened, there should be little slop in the rear bearings.

Changing the bearings is pretty simple...


Installation instructions revised with my experiences.... thanks quadwrench...

The hub nut is torqued to 100 ft lbs (my manual says 80 ft lbs for a 2002-03 sp600/700), so unless the hub has loosened, there should be minimal slop in the rear bearings.

Changing the bearings...

1. Remove the wheel.

2. Remove the axle (hub) cotter pin , 1 1/8" nut (80/100 ft. lbs. torque, varies) and 2 coned washers (cone outwards).

3. Remove the hub from bearing and CV shaft spline. Note: on right side of machine remove the two caliper 1/2" bolts and brake caliper first.

4. Remove the 3 bolts holding the bearing carrier, one 9/16" bolt top (35 ft. lbs.), two 5/8" bolts (40 ft. lbs.) on bottom.

5. Slide bushings on the two lowers out half way to clear and remove the carrier.

6. Remove the internal snap ring holding the bearing in, (good snap ring pliers are a must).

7. Knock the old bearing out using a large punch on the outer race (in the 3 relief notches on back of carrier), heat may be necessary.

8. Put the new bearing in the freezer for awhile (this works, do it before you start).

9. Heat up "bake" the carrier (minus anything that don't belong) @ 212*F (I used a torch).

10. Slide the new bearing in (tap around outer race ONLY if needed - remember the carrier is hot!). I used the old bearing outer race if no arbor or pipe/PVC of the right size is available....and

11. To reassemble reverse the take apart procedure. Grease a-arm upper and lower bushings upon reassembly.

You might find what you are looken for on this site http://216.37.204.206/wps/Pola...sATV.asp?Type=12&A=428

You should find the part #

 

Hi Perky, If you still can't get a part # let me know,Once you get the bearings out,Wipe down the race and bearing and see if there is a # on them.Usually the Manufacturer will stamp a # on it. Don't use any parts cleaner to wipe down the bearings with,It may Erase the #,Just a clean rag.
The # may start with LM And about 5 or 6 #s after that .
Let me know what ya got for part#s and i'll cross reference it for ya,If Possible.
As an Autoparts Counterman for 25+ years , I've come to learn that a lot of bearings will fit many , many applications.Autos or ATVS or Motorcycles, Regardless of what the catalogs say.
They want ya to carry more inventory than you actually need to.
Keep me posted.
