Ok i had to change my cv boot....NO PROBLEM! the dude behind the counter says and sells me the kit....i get the axel out change the the boot and presto!......hoe the hell do i get it back in? Can anyone help?

2005 polaris 400 sportsman

 

it goes in the same way you got it out as far as it just slides back in w/ the snap ring clicking back in the grove on the cv hosuing on the wheeler. sometimes wd-40 works to help lube it if its dirty cleaning the spine up wire a wire brush wouldnt hurt. but line the spine back up and you have to compress the clip so it will seem to go hard but just slides back in.

 

put the axle nut on backwards, turn nut until it is flush with end of axle stub, so you don't mess up the threads, VERY IMPORTANT. Have somebody help to hold the axle totally straight while lining up the splines, after axle is straight use a small hammer to hit the nut, this will help to snap circlip past lip of gearcase.

 

thanks for all your help...got it! Thank god! Actually had to change 3 of the boots LOL. But got it done anyway. Also had to put on new handle bars> (may 24 incident) i am a lucky sob! Just added new black ss 108's and executioner tires Bike looks so mean now! I love it! Talk to you guys later.....any runs happening soon? I want to get out there!

 

Let me know if those bad@$$ tires work as good as they look.

 

the tires work really well in most conditioms i have found (except soft sand or gravel)
