Arctic Cat 400 Rear CV-Axle Replacement

I still need to get the winch working just haven't gotten around to it yet. Also, at the end of the video if you noticed is a trailer hooked up. I got a new toy that is revealed in my community posts and will be in the next video soon!

You can thin the anti seize with WD-40. Not much but it helps when it gets dry.

Oh ok, thanks for the info!

I noticed you were using pb blaster. I quit using pb years ago and switched to kroil. I beat on a clutch on a Polaris xplorer off and on for 2 days. I bought a can of kroil , sprayed it and let sit for 8 hrs. Tapped it with a hammer and it fell off.

Oh alright! thanks for the info, have you tried acetone and ATF mix before? I heard it works pretty good.

Today my first short test ride, oil coming out the the cv axle on diff side? What did I wrong ? The axle is not close no more to the diff , but it was at installation. What was my fault ?

[@IngenGarage]

Are you talking about the grease leaking out of the boot in one spot where the clamp is, because mine started doing that a week after I uploaded this video. Tbh man I'm not fully sure why but idc anymore I'm just gonna run it anyway.

[@worldexplorer3263]

At my cat the diff oil is leaking between axle and diff, (axle moved away from diff) I removed everything, because I thought the c-Clip is broken. everything back in, because everything ok. today the axle is complete out the socket! There is maybe a pressure while spinning. Next time I will use these „quick fit glue together cv boots“ without remove everything. I still don’t know what’s the prob with the new „moose“ axle

[@IngenGarage]

Not fully sure, if I see it in real life I can probably diagnose it. It sounds like the c clips isn’t fully seated in the diff, axle not pushed all the way in, or bad axle seal.

[@worldexplorer3263]

Do you do You Remember if the the cv axle left and right are the same length ? Because maybe I found the problem ,that the replacement axle is to short. I thrown the old away to early like you did ;))))

[@davehart2804]

Was the popping from the cv joint or from the hub bearing that was seized on axle shaft?

[@IngenGarage]

It might be but I have been running the broken shaft for a while and it was getting worse at popping. What other noises could have made that popping you think?

[@davehart2804]

I’m thinking that the popping was from the bad hub bearing. I’m going through the same thing right now with mine. Radial play on all wheels,torn cv boots and popping.

[@IngenGarage]

@@davehart2804 ohh ok! Yeah that definitely could have caused some of it!

[@TailgateGarage]

Dude… RECORD! Thats the entire reason people watch… you missed everything.

I edit clips out to make the video not totally boring and so it won't be 45mins long. I showed what it actually takes to get rust-welded parts apart and hammering axles out of the diff. A lot of people don't include that kind of stuff and if I edit that out it would be under 10mins if that and be very basic and boring. I try to have a nice mix between "technical" and "entertainment".
