Polaris RZR XP 1000 Rear Axle Replacement

[@levimckeen3298]

That's funny you made the axle look so easy to get out 😅

[@tubbybrandon]

Just purchased 2 of the exact same axels from you guys and torqued them to the recommended 180 ft lbs…I even double checked the torque spec in the rzr owners manual because I didn’t understand the 10 &12 mm you were talking about like the previous comment mentioned, so I just wanted to be sure on the axel nut….couldn’t get it to 180 the nut lost its resistance and just keeps spinning. The threads are ruined on the axel. Would not recommend this axel.

[@Brendan194]

I didn’t catch when you were talking about 10 or 12 mm torque that you meant the bolt size and not the socket size which didn’t make any sense anyways since the head is 15mm but I torqued my m10 bolts to 100 and it shot the nut side off and it went to the moon so don’t make that mistake lol

[@corbin692]

He is talking about bolt size not the bolt head

[@otherstuff5433]

Might be worth clarifying the radius rod torque specifications. In the video you mentioned 10 and 12 mm but clearly you're using an 18 mm. Unless you're referring to the bolt head itself, which is not clear.

Bolt size

Nicely done!

This is not complete. Does not explain the axel grease you will need. Remove all the old grease with contact cleaner and let dry fully. Then use some axel grease to lube up the new axel end before sliding the new in.

What kind of jack are you using in the video to lift the machine?

[@rmatvmc]

This is the Tusk UTV Lift, you can check it out here: www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/tusk-utv-lift-p

[@Doitforyoself]

are they really heavy duty? would u say they compare to the Rhino 2.0s?

[@rmatvmc]

Yes these are definitely more heavy duty than stock. We haven't gotten to test them with the Rhino 2.0 axles but they are both constructed using 4340 chromoly and 6 ball bearings so they are pretty similar.

[@jasonbullseye4476]

Y grease the splins? Wouldn't that get grease in the dif?

[@rmatvmc]

The grease helps the axle not get stuck inside the diff, you don't have to apply a lot. Helps incase you have to change that axle again.

How much play is too much play practically new 250 miles on fronts and 25 miles on rear

[@danknell2009]

I'm sorry but the axle does not come out that easy! tried the slide hammer trick, no dice. tried pry bars still no dice. still working on it.

[@garrettfreeland3391]

[@danknell2009]

@@garrettfreeland3391 yes I soaked it in penetrating oil several times and it finally popped out
