Broke a few things on my SP 800 XP
This last weekend at the Yacht Club was the first time breaking stuff for me, I play hard in the mud with mine and has been awesome.
Anyway, lost brakes later in the day, once home and clean a few days later saw nothing with the lines so I took the cap off and pumped fluid thru found it leaking out the rear wheel brake cylinder. Is this a re-buildable part or do I have to get a new caliper.
Next, heard a horrible popping noise in front left while in thick mud getting out of a hole. I've never torn into a CV joint axle thingy would it be damaged on the wheel side or T-case side? Should I buy aftermarket axle or polaris and should I swap both at same time. The boot had a cut in it which im sure had mud in it. I've been reading on how to on this site hopefully I can figure out how to replace. I think I saw an add around here for 129 repair CV axles.
Also broke the winch cable (twice) and now only have about a 20' cable that i dont trust. I took it out and how do I replace the cable? Planning on synthetic. do I have to take the whole winch apart? i was expecting some sort of bolt on the spool or something.
front end was loose and found the rubber was gone around the ball joints. Found replacement kits for 35 a side where as polaris wants 42 for 1 ball joint.
Now, want to order new Primary spring. I think its the Blue with orange stripe for mine. I have none of the tools, should I just pay to have it done and should I replace the secondary spring too? would like a little lower torque and dont care for top end. If I want to haul booty I'll just jump on my sons's 700XX.
And to add to all this another bike I have broke the L rear axle at the wheel so its a 3x4 ha, ill find that price when I get the polaris fixed. yikes, expensive weekend.
I know, lots of questions and look forward to your responses.
Thanks

RULE of thumb: If you KNOW you can do it go right ahead,if uncertain especially where specialty tools are required,then its possible a shop is the answer. On certain thinks,like the winch cable you can replace yourself and cv assemblies with just a common tool set normally. A manual still is the best teacher(along with a little grease on your hands) and can help you decide what you want to do and whats best left for a shop! Depending on the brand of winch ,there should be a screw for the cable end OR a slot?? You can easily change the primary spring,but the rear clutch has to be taken apart to replace the spring . There is a special tool to remove ball joints,although some have made there own! Calipers can be rebuilt in most cases. You've got a pretty good 'shopping list" of things to do and as suggested a MANUAL I believe is first on the list! OPT
