My cousin's '97 Wolverine wore out a u-joint on the drive shaft this weekend. He called the Yamaha dealership to get a price...OUCH! They wanted $90 each. That is absolutely ridiculous. So far we have been able to find them for about $40 in an ATV aftermarket magazine. Anyplace out there that might have them cheaper? Thanks.

 

You should be able to buy them for about $25 to $30 a piece from some of the aftermarket suppliers and make sure you get the ones that have a grease fitting in them. They last a lot longer then the stock ones too.

 

The cheapest we found them is $34. We got the shaft off yesterday. How do you get the u-joints and yokes off? Do you have to take that nut loose or do you leave the yoke on and knock the u-joints out? Thanks.

 

You don't remove the yokes you remove the u-joints only. Dont forget to pop off the c clips inside the caps first then use a big c-clamp with a couple of sockets to drive the caps out. It isnt that hard its just kinda hard to get at the yokes cause there isnt a lot of room to work in there. I hope you got the new ones with grease fittings in them.They will last a lot longer.
