Great info video , been truck mechanic over 40 years but now working on my 21 year old sportsman and i need to replace rear axles and A arm bushing and you really did great job showing how to so thanks so much for video

I bought a cv joint puller as I needed some help, but I was always alone, so it worked great on the cv joints.

Yep, sometimes you need every advantage

[@raul63amg]

Great video...thx for the help...but you only missed put some grease on the bearing

[@allwegottadois]

They are sealed bearings so you can’t grease them but I did put some copper anti-seize on the axle stub shaft where it goes through the bearing to help keep corrosion down and disassembly later.

[@genegustafson1665]

I did all the rear bearings and new hubs, because of the old ones were junk,

[@allwegottadois]

Nice to do it all at once while you’re there

I bought new rear shocks for my Polaris Sportsman ATV

[@allwegottadois]

Did you switch over the springs yourself, or take to a shop that has a spring compressor?

Whoo hooo oh boy, that's so exciting.. ??? New shocks.. !!! Lol lol

[@masoncross-om3oc]

Well, they couldn't make all those dollars selling new bushing to everyone if they put in zerk fittings.. ????

[@allwegottadois]

Some of the earlier years they put Zirk fittings on everything now they hardly ever do.
