Polaris Outlaw IRS Rear End Overview

[@jasonlang7857]

Thank you so much for your video an hour of fighting turned into three minutes of easy

[@alexkollitz2422]

Glad it could help you out, manufacturers don't always design for ease of maintenance. :)

[@frogmand.142]

the bearings inside the "center bearing carrier" are what I need to replace. I'm trying to figure out how to get that apart.

[@TrickParts]

Great information, thank you. Just picked up a 07 Outlaw 500 and I am working on going through the whole thing as a winter project.

[@wickedalracing]

Rob M. You're welcome. You'll like the Outlaw IRS. If you get an opportunity to pick up the 525, you'll like the increase in power too.

[@rheubrheub6651]

wickedalracing where can I buy that ring at 14 minutes in ?

[@imnotkruel1167]

THANK YOU for taking the time to post this...saved me a ton of headache

[@wickedalracing]

+Imnot Kruel Glad you found it useful!

[@Joe71Walker]

Awesome video this was VERY helpful. Been fighting the inner bearing to get the axle out and didn't see that little snap ring. Ground a little spot like you did and pulled it right out. Thanks man!

[@ryandaffinee4100]

iv done all this and it was a pain in the ars! wish this video was out back then. woulda helped a lot. good video

[@wickedalracing]

Ryan Daffinee Thanks! The more you do it, the better you get at it.

[@MrMicraphone]

That inner frickin ring was a bitch !! thank you so much for the

[@Quadguy83]

Take a small drill bit drill a little hole on each side of the ring. Use snap ring pliers pinch it so it will make it smaller set it in place and release it puts it right in the ring the seat it. Make sure the seat is nice and clean. I’ll even take a little dremel and wire wheel and clean it real well

[@edwardvanhansen2572]

Awesome tips. My Outlaw makes a clicking sound on the rear end when turning slowly, espesially when backing up. CV's and Bearings looks fine, what can be wrong or is this normal?

[@Max-nu3re]

Nice video!!! Anyone know were i can find the retaining "evil" pine ? i lost it when i restored my quad but didn't find it in the part manual

[@craigsilta5608]

Using a feeler gauge to slide under the snap ring works without grinding. Have to do it when rebuilding shocks

[@wickedalracing]

Great tip! Thanks. I may need to get into my shocks soon. What thickness do you use?

[@edwardvanhansen2572]

Thanks, great video, one question, do you have to align the inner and outer cv joints? Miner is making a awkward noise after cleaning and greasing it again, there was no noticeable damage to the cv surfaces or ball bearings, any ideas?

[@wickedalracing]

Sorry about the late response, just noticed your question. Not that I'm going to be any help. I'm not sure what you mean by aligning the joints. Whenever I replaced them, I paid no attention to what splines are sockets parts went into. No issues. Rule for me, if there is noise, replace the parts. You may not see it, but there is noise for a reason.

[@matthewlincoln9336]

What are your thoughts on the top smaller bolt of the rear spindle with the two bushing? I have replaced the two bushing twice now and after I grease the tip it feels tight but once I ride a few hours it seems to have a little play again. I hope you understand what part I’m talking about just looking for some answers. Thanks Matthew

[@austingrafton7945]

I have a 2008 Polaris Outlaw 525 IRS. My rear end started clicking and popping when I turn right and go in reverse to the right. I just replaced the rear bearings on both sides. I took it for a little ride around my place and it is still making that noise. Do you have any idea why it is doing that or what I need to replace so it quits? Thanks for the help!

[@wickedalracing]

+Austin Grafton It's not the bearings, but the CV joints. Depending on your budget, I always recommend replacing the entire axle, but if that's not in the cards, just replace the offending CV...all parts of the CV. I ran for quite a bit of time with clicking CV's, but that is a signal they are worn and will eventually fail.

[@austingrafton9930]

+wickedalracing Alright thank you for the help. I ordered all the stuff for the rear end and hopefully will be putting it back together this weekend. I appreciate it thank you!

[@codylauck4930]

i need the part number for that snap ring in the race that holds the ball cage in:

[@jonathanzellmer4086]

I have a 2006 Polaris Outlaw 500. I’ve been trying to fix a clicking noise in the rear end that has now turned into a clunking, popping, and binding noise when moving the quad. It won’t do it when it’s jacked up in the air. I’ve replaced both wheel bearings, outer CV joints/boots, and the main carrier bearings in the center hub. However, the noise is still there. I’m wondering if I need to replace the inner CV joints or the center hub itself. I also know you can get the entire rear assembly for around $600, but replacing only the inner CV joints is much cheaper. There doesn’t seem to be any unusual play with either of the axles inside the center hub either. I’m wondering if you think replacing the inner CV joints would fix the popping problem, as you seem extremely familiar with these Outlaws. Thanks!

[@user-dw5zu7no3r]

Did u ever get it fixed

[@lukespencer7827]

wouldn't happen to have an axel or two still laying around would you?

[@jordonkramer456]

Awesome Video! i was hoping you would show how to get the carrier apart so I can change the bearring! any info on that....ive search the forums high and low and cant find anything...

[@alexkollitz2032]

+Jordon Kramer Hi Jordan, I took the carrier apart once, I seem to recall a large ring had to be removed and the one side was threaded onto the other. Unfortunately I recently sold all of my Outlaw parts to focus now on SxS racing so I can't reference anything. Good luck!

[@GBodyJames]

+Jordon Kramer i have one about the carrier bearings

[@brandonolney6910]

Started replacing one CV and decided to just replace everything. The hub inner bearings are rough but i cant get the hub apart. I bought tool pa-48282 and the short side came out like nothing. Cant get the long side out because the tool is no help and it wont just hammer out. Any help on what I'm missing?

[@wickedalracing]

I only pulled the center hub out once....and that was so long ago. I honestly can't remember any issues or how I addressed them (and this is a late reply, you probably already did it). Good luck!

[@cdnglenwood2234]

Definitely would like those billet hub carriers. Thank you for the trouble.

[@wickedalracing]

Cdn Glenwood So sorry, I've been so busy with a new project I keep on forgetting to look in the garage and see what I still have and what I want to keep for upcoming projects. Are you still looking for hub carriers?

[@cdnglenwood2234]

Not now just sold it.. Thank you though.

[@wickedalracing]

Cdn Glenwood I got an opportunity to design long travel kits for a SxS manufacturer and also race them, my Outlaw is getting sold too. I'm keeping the Wraith for fun and occasional races, but the Outlaw days are over, so sad, was a lot of fun. Now I get to decide what parts I want to keep to fab up new ideas and what just needs to go out the door. Good luck with your new direction!

[@justinpelkey1171]

Any luck with billet hub carriers? Unfortunately my outlaw days are not over yet lol. And parts are becoming discontinued!!

[@RaztechPowersports]

Great video! Would you recommend going with the OEM inner boot or the aftermarket HD boot?

[@alexkollitz2032]

+Brad Raziano (Raztech) Thanks! I always used the OEM boots. They were more expensive but I've heard mixed reviews on alternate boots. I think the pricing has even come down on the OEM boots too.

[@wendyduval3558]

The ring at 14:15 I'm in need of would you happen to have a part number much thanks in advance

[@alexkollitz2032]

Sorry, I do not. Good luck. You might try Partzilla.

[@wendyduval3558]

@@alexkollitz2032 damn they do not have one listed guess I'll find a c clip or coat hanger to make it work! Honestly I don't think once everything is all bolted together on the machine it wouldn't be able to hyper extend so much that it would pull out I'll figure er' out

[@camerongeiger9054]

Hey I have a 2008 polaris outlaw 525irs. When I roll it straight it make no noises. But when I go to push it and turn it it makes this awful grinding and binding sound. Only happens when I turn

[@wickedalracing]

Cameron Geiger CV's are going. Go here to get a complete rear axle. Click to add it to your cart to get the real price, best deal I've found.www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Polaris/ATV/2007/A07GP52AA-AB+OUTLAW+525/GEARCASE,+REAR/parts.html Or you can buy my 525, I just did that replacement myself except I have long travel arms and axles. $4300.

[@camerongeiger9054]

Thank you love the vids!

[@wickedalracing]

Cameron Geiger Thanks! I was hoping they would help people out.

[@92h22accord]

Hey buddy, im just like you, love my irs's, got two 525 irs and one 450 mxr. My inner cv joint are due for replacement on my race quad, so were do you get your aftermarket race, cage and ball bearings? Polaris dont sell oem kits, and what brand worked the best for you? Would really appreciate your knowledge on that one!!! Thx brother!

[@alexkollitz2032]

If your CVs are going bad, the best thing to do is to replace the entire rear axle assembly, it's less expensive than doing it piecemeal. Go to Partzilla and add this part number to your cart, www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Polaris/ATV/2007/A07GP52AA-AB+OUTLAW+525/GEARCASE,+REAR/parts.html don't be shocked by the price, check the price in your cart and it will be less than half of what it shows on the main page. This goes from splined shaft to splined shaft including the axle halfs, CVs, rubber boots, center bearing carrier. Much less expensive then getting individual parts.

[@nkeack3953]

Do you know the part number for the ring clip at 14:05 I am fixing mine and i want to make sure i am getting the right clip broke mine taking it out. please and thanks!

[@rheubrheub6651]

Freindly rager did you ever find that ring? I need one to

[@GRUFF..]

I have called a number of Polaris dealers and they have all told me that you cant buy that ring separately. it comes with a new rear axle and those are $300 a piece.

[@javierchavez13]

I'm currently looking for it as well did any of you guys have any luck finding one?

or does anyone here know where I can find a front chain slide for this bike

[@thomasfoster7524]

It's on the chain side so ail take it back apart to make sure I installed the berrings and knuckle

[@rheubrheub6651]

Where can I buy the inner ring? Please anyone

[@SethKelley92]

Where can i buy just the inner cv bearings not the entire thing cant find them for separate sale or is that a dumb idea but my inner race and cage dont look all that worn but there is some play in my bearings and it started clicking recently.

[@alexkollitz2032]

SethKelley92 I get my oem parts from Partzilla.com, they seem to have the best prices. Make sure to add the item to your cart to get the true price and see if is less expensive to buy the whole thing rather than the pieces.

[@SethKelley92]

thanks man but i still cant find the bearings i just need the bearings not the whole inner cv joint just the bearings

[@alexkollitz2032]

SethKelley92 Then google is your friend. You will need to measure the stock ones as the dimensions will need to be precise, you will also need to know what type of steel is used to get the same or better performance. If the balls themselves are worn, chances are the inner and outer races are also worn and also need to be replaced. If you simply lost a ball and need it replaced, then you can probably find one assuming the size is standard. Good luck!

[@SethKelley92]

thanks man

[@97cammedgtp]

Did you ever create any parts for the Polaris?

[@alexkollitz2422]

Just one off parts. Steering damper mount and suspended handlebars. Custom arms were by others.

[@tomspecht4733]

Does anyone have any ideas how to widen this rear end? I bought a 525 Outlaw frame with front and rear suspension and want to cut it apart and use the suspension points on a 2 seater mini sand rail buggy. Can anyone give some ideas on how wide this needs to be for stability and if I need to widen this suspension for the setup?

[@wickedalracing]

I hope your project has been coming along fine. If you want to widen it, look for other Polaris axles that fit the same spline pattern and then build arms for that length. Of course that allows you to set up shocks anywhere you want. If you don't want to get into a lot of engineering, stay stock.

[@rooster4609]

Finding axles for this quad is a pain

[@Americanflippers]

You aint Lying! Mine is clicking and i can't find anything, if you have any info plz lmk

[@hectorlopez6140]

Is it the same for both sides

[@alexkollitz2032]

Yes it is.

[@93nut]

A simple box cutter razor will catch the inner ring and allow you to take it out easily.

[@wickedalracing]

Nice tip, thanks!
