Polaris Ranger Crew 800 Wheel Bearing Replacement | Polaris Ranger 800 Hub Replacement

Buy parts for your Polaris Ranger Crew front wheel bearing replacement along with all the parts we used here: bit.ly/Polaris-...
When we started this job, we thought we were just going to replace the wheel bearings. However, this one needed a lot more work.
In this video from Partzilla.com, John will show you how to replace the wheel bearings on your Polaris Ranger 800 Crew, but he’ll show you how to replace the hub on your Polaris Ranger as well. We’ll also replace the half-shaft on this Ranger.
We’ll start by getting this unit on jack stands and removing the wheel. From there, you’ll see how a combination of worn parts and stuff that doesn’t even belong have combined to tear up the right front corner of this Ranger.
John will show you how to remove the caliper and hub in order to access the old wheel bearing. But because the old wheel bearing was ruined, it had damaged the hub. We’ll press in a new wheel bearing and we’ll show you how to do a hub replacement on the Ranger, which includes installing the wheel studs and the brake rotor.
The old and missing parts also damaged the half-shaft, so we’ll do a half-shaft replacement on this Ranger before we put everything back together again.
Our unit has aftermarket wheels, but if you have factory wheels, the torque settings are different depending on the material used in the wheel.
Steel wheels: 35 foot-pounds per lug
Aluminum wheels: 30 foot-pounds per lug

I watched the video and was very impressed taught me quite a bit about torque the anti-seize on the inside of the hub, and how you greased it thank you so much

[@campingscore5785]

Excellent job showing how it's done! Thanks Bob

[@neil4634]

Outstanding detail! I appreciate your use of a torque wrench as well. Pride in craftsmanship is hard to find and it's obvious you have it.

[@Hi-Tech-Ray]

This guy has patience like a saint!

[@brucemontrose]

I just found your videos. Thank you. Excellent detail indeed!

[@PartzillaParts]

Welcome!

[@fyanezc]

Nice video, learned how to change the studs which was what I was looking for. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thanks for great videos 🙌🏻

[@bertprice2118]

Thanks for the video sir! Saved me so much time and frustration.

[@ThePestGurus]

Evening John, what torque at the castle nut in the front and rear? Do you have a video replacing the rear suspension components? Thanks for the great videos!

[@brianlamberson8032]

Is all that play from the bad bearings, or from the loosened lug nuts too?

[@Jamesbond-wo5ob]

After you install the new hub bearing i didn't see the drive go in it how was that done . What did I miss ???

[@kevinstanford1646]

Great vid , thanks John! My mechanic friends said they'd never use red loc-tite on the bearings. What are your reasons for using it?

[@brianmurphy8371]

I like the video. You explain the process very well. I was wondering if its ok to use green marine bearing grease instead of the red high temp. grease? Thank You.

[@BradleyBeeksAdventures]

Awesome video thanks!

[@PartzillaParts]

Glad you liked it!

[@BradleyBeeksAdventures]

@@PartzillaParts got mine done last night and also subscribed to your channel, mine has jeeps and RZR videos if you want to check it out 😎

[@2020Tundra]

Where can I get a torque wrench like the one you’re using?

[@rzrfam7315]

Is this the same process as the 2014 rzr 800 s

[@scottyakoubian9238]

Good video. Thanks!

[@chrisdove7362]

Which way do the cone washers go

[@dipsikasubba940]

[@chitun3275]

[@seecesar]

Thank you for the info. I can tell someone didn’t do a good job but it didn’t help to hear you point it out at every turn

[@shannonsweat7884]

My bad meant to say thread lock

[@tom73055]

And what did this cost you?

[@porterwilson4665]
