How to check/change/replace wheel bearings on Polaris RZR | Maintenance Matters | SuperATV

[@TexasUrbanSawmillLLC]

Nice video only suggestion would be to show or provide tips on how to remove the bearings without a press and how to insert them. The answer? You can use a torch to heat the outside of the hub housing. This will expand the hub bearing diameter just a tab and make it much easier to hammer out with a brass punch or properly sized punch. Then you can place your new bearings in the freezer overnight and they will basically drop into place. Freezing them shrinks them ever so slightly.

Honestly if you have a torch you should have a press....

Most of these people know less than you so keep it up!

Kristen, that winking session at 1:39 is very flirty....lol Joking, good video!

Thanks for the feedback!

what size socket is needed to remove the axle nuts front and rear on a 2018 rzr xp 4 1000?

[@garygartside5280]

Dumb ass, figure it out

[@tbramich]

Mine has never come apart that easy...lol

[@thomasburger5810]

You should specify the year because on my 2017 the snap ring is on the inside and the bearing comes out and goes in the exact opposite of your video.

[@catlinbeasley2041]

People that can’t tell the difference shouldn’t touch tools

[@beardedwulverine]

Yeah, that was confusing. 😅

[@michaelmilkovich4120]

what size are the correct adapters?

[@garpathen100]

I really like that know one pointed out….the importance of make sure that the caliber is hanging from its hose😆

[@joemeier659]

on the instructions, it says to apply Loctite 603 retaining compound to the outside surface. Is that mandatory or not?

[@SuperATVMedia]

No its not mandatory just recommended.

[@zaclecheminant8421]

@@SuperATVMedia tell that to the 2020 pro that they forgot to apply the loctite during assembly and now my bearings pop

[@mr.hoonigan4313]

Overall labor hrs for rear?

[@DomDavidson]

As long as you take. If you have had 6 beers it might take longer

[@denseleit]

I wouldn't be working in with ring on lol

[@beardedwulverine]

Just wish there were torque specs for reassembly. Otherwise, good video.

[@SuperATVMedia]

Sorry about that. You can find all torque specs in the machine's owner's manual.

What mechanic wears a 4K diamond while working?

[@SuperATVMedia]

Kristen actually wore hers for years, but finally switched to silicone bands after a few too many encounters with grease and old oil!

[@polarisrepair1178]

Wowwwww😍😍🙏🙏

[@rawbdiggity]

And of course my race came off on hub

[@w1646]

Mine too. So I just bolted it all right back up and pretended that I never tried to change them in the first place. Fingers crossed

[@alt9874]

Great video...just leave out the annoying background music in future please.

[@SuperATVMedia]

Thanks for watching!

Wait a minute!! What was she working on!!!!!!?😁👀

A 2014 Polaris RZR Xp 1000

[@tgw6991]

Great video but she forgot to grease it

[@trubio28]

It's a sealed bearing, doesn't require grease

[@jasonbell4670]

@@trubio28 why does Polaris sell a specific wheel bearing grease insert for wheel bearings?

[@travelintoolboxmobilemecha2165]

@@jasonbell4670 it forces grease through the center of the bearing, but generally you do not grease a sealed bearing, you just replace them. But I bought one and used it on mine, they do work, but when the old grease pushes out. It ruins the seal

[@jared7211]

wtf you mean you can't leave the wheel on when replacing bearings. Mind blown.

[@SuperATVMedia]

Confused with your comment, please elaborate. You can't remove the steering knuckle to replace the wheel bearing with the wheel/tire on...

[@jared7211]

@@SuperATVMedia I was being sarcastic.

[@HHI455]

You also cant remove the bearing with the snap ring in. Are we going to point out everything that must be done again just to verify what was said in the video. Not real funny just a waste of others time!
