Yep, that one looks easier to get at then mine. Looks like one could use a 8MM socket with a ratchet and the right length extension.
Thanks.
One of these days I will get one of those "fancy-dancy" digital camera's (or borrow my sons LOL) so I can get some pics.

Hey Octane, what's up with posting item's for sale on the forum? I didn't think that was ethical on the site. Also, I like the 90% deal, that's how alot of our younger ATV owner's learn. There is no dumb question or answer on the forum, IMO. Not trying to start anything, but lighten up. We are sorry that us newbie atv owner's want to be involved and may give input that is not correct.

You know,maybe you are right. I'll remove the brush gaurds from my signature.
And I'll try to keep my opinions to myself more. Sorry if I offended anyone.
I'm just here to help and to share and recieve knowlegde and experience.
I agree wholeheartedly there is no dumb question.. sorry I do disagree that there is no dumb answer. But again,I'll try to keep that to myself more.

You could always cut a piece of hose,a little larger diameter than the radiator hose and slice it long ways and slide it around the hose where it rubs and zip tie it back in place. Anything that keeps the bracket from rubbing the hose.
Wolf-Interesting. Can you post a pic of it. Mine was built around that time as well,wonder if it fell off or they just forgot it?
I don't see anything like that in the parts breakdwon.

Thanks.
That looks fine, I'm about 99% sure mine never had the rubber coating on the bracket. I know it didn't when I picked it up brand new. Unless some how it got knocked off prior to delivery it wasn't installed.
I'd be interested to see how many have or don't have that piece.

If you look at the lower radiator hose(right side) you will see it passes around the
bracket for EPS(all machines have the bracketry) and rubs on the edge of the bracket. On mine it is Zip Tied tight up against the bracket. From looking at parts breakdown they fix this on machines made after 11/03 by using the same hose that they use on the EPS machines(shaped to go arond the EPS componets) and by putting a clamp on the hose,and apparently bolting the clamp to the EPS bracket,or somewhere to keep it from rubbing. I don't think this would apply to EPS models,as they used a different hose from the start,but it wouldn't hurt to look at it.
On mine I'm going to take off the zip tie and put on a clamp to hold it off the edge of the bracket. It hasn't damaged the hose yet,but I'm not chancing it. An ounce of prevention is worth....</end quote></div>
GREAT info! It's postings like this...that make this forum what it is! IMO...
