I appreciate an instructive video and this was helpful. One little thing I did on mine was to replace that bolt you cut on the lower A-arm from the back so the nut is now next to the bumper so it won't have to be removed the next time. Saves alot of future work and frustration.

You have just nailed the top of my list of best instructional videos EVER. Forgetting the wheel studs... it's as if I made the video LOL!!! Tomorrow, I will tackle the refresh of my newly acquired ranger 6x6... I have 4 new wheel bearings to install, and I will be sure to NOT forget the wheel studs... if I remove them...

The wheel bearings can be packed with grease,Polaris uses Chinese bearings. Also on the suspension bushings, don't bother with Polaris junk go to super Daves he makes bushings and sleeves that are way higher quality than Polaris. The more parts you can put in a Polaris made by someone else the better off you are. Also the bearings are two piece rollers when you torque the axle nut you are setting the preload.

Remove bearing in your press and re install in your press no heat needed vs trying to hammer them out with a punch. clean out hub with a rag clean out snap ring groove and spray area with a touch of wd-40 it helps bearing slide in straight without getting hung up while being pressed in. Also seized bolt inside the bushing put heat on bolt head then get a pry bar and hit the thread end of bolt with a 2lb hammer then pry the bolt out between head and frame because sometimes cutting won't work depending frame and a-arm location... Use copper coat it works better than regular anti seize against water and moisture which causes welded parts.

FYI on a bearing that's seized in a hub like that instead of cutting it out once all the balls cage are out and the raceway surface is exposed dig out the welder and run a bead of weld around the race way. Welding "pulls" and the race will drop out of the hub with ease, and this does absolutely no damage to the bearing / hub mounting surface that cutting with a torch, plasma or cut off wheel.

it was still helpful to see your video. I didn't chill the bearing but I used a little heat, went in no problem. tight fit though. I was able to remove bearing retainer and expose ball bearings. (the opposite side of the circlip) I packed them with marine grease. BTW, do you have an off road tv show in Canada. if not you should, I would definitely watch. a mix of your hardcore riding in different locations and some how to sessions and plus some sponsor plugs.

1. You need a tool cart 2. Not that I know for certain but I see you used antisieze for bushings and know it has metallic dust in it and is not good for moving parts wondering if brake caliper grease may be better as it also has high temp ratings. Just a thought.

In putting a 2" lift on the front struts, I found that the DS CV joint was a "bag of bolts" in the CV boot. This video has been incredibly helpful in that lift process and I was able to get the PS strut lifted - it looks great. When pulling the front left axle off of my 2007 Ranger 700 EFI 6X6, the axle actually separated from whatever is in the front transfer case "boot" (a little piece of the boot is still clamped on the axle); I'm now holding the largest part of the axle and the "can" is still attached to the front transfer case. I saw something that the compression ring around the spline can rust and the ring won't compress to let the axle slide out. Any ideas on how to get that remaining piece out of the front transfer case so I can put a new front axle assembly on there?

hope this customer isn't paying by the hour. The lower front A arm bolt will come right out if you get a pry bar behind the head and give it a whack with the hammer. Not perfect but it will come out.... Why in the world would you not reverse the direction of the bolt going back together so you don't have this issue again?
