Polaris Ranger Prop Shaft Removal and U-Joint Replacement

I see these prop shafts and U joints go out all the time on these machines. In my opinion, they are very under built. If you can hammer out the pin, that might save you some time but I usually just use the method I did to remove the shaft. Some machines may not let you slide the front differential out like I did.

Awesome video my 2018 ranger u-joints went out I watched your video and I went ahead and ordered the tool of Amazon it wasn't but $40 but I changed both u-joints just like you did and it took me about 3 hours.

Thank you. It’s not to bad but definitely takes some time

You did a really good job young man makes me proud to see young men that know how to work on these

[@atvrepairsandmore2482]

Thank you. For the rear yoke, I would go to Polaris site or call a dealer to get the part. You can put the vin number in on the website to find the part or the dealer can give you the number. Once I have the part number, I usually order on ebay

What was the model number of the Ujoint? The wind makes it hard to hear

[@rodneybilly7389]

I could not hear it either buddy that wind was cutting a ruckus

Where are you finding ujoints ? The dealers in Ontario are telling me they are unserviceable and need to replace complete shaft

[@atvrepairsandmore2482]

I usually order them on eBay or you can maybe cross reference it at a auto parts store. The dealer is lying to you. I’ve replaced a few of them on rangers.

[@shawnbowman8630]

So all said and done, how long did it take to replace the u joint? I need to do mine and am curious.

[@atvrepairsandmore2482]

I would say 2-3 hours.
