Need a little help replacing a torn CV boot?

[bigblack316]

I'm a little confused as I was reading different forums and some people say give the CV a good yank and it comes apart and others say theres a spring clip that needs pulled apart?


Its an '01 Polaris Scrambler.



thanks for the help :chinese:

hey come check out www.gen3usa.com

that site is all about scramblers, trailblazers and 400 sports

there is 2 clips on each end of the boot that you need to remove. they are also a pain in the @ss to get back together, its almost a 2 man job.

are you trying to fix the boot? what exactly is wrong?

agreed replacing a boot is a pain in the ***** but if you get most things apart by your self.. the reassembly is the only part that will require two guys to get a firm installation of the clip

if you going to replace the boot, and you are not familar with everything I would get a manual to help you. Its not a difficult task but you can mess up alot of things really quick, and there are some torque sequences that you need to know when putting the hubs back together.

there will be plenty of info on the gen3usa site. I know I have posted on how to help others do the same thing over there

i'm def buyin' a manual this weekend if i can find a good one, i saw a scrambler one clymer made but it was only '97-'00 :(


i also seen haynes has one for a couple different atvs and one of them was a scrambler so i might end up pickin' that up, i also kinda figured there would be torq specs, jeez, i'll have to buy a torq wrench but i always wanted one, now i have a reason to get one

[rundrave]

dont by the haynes or clymer manual, they are not nearly as detailed as the polaris one. trust me you will want the polaris one.

[bigblack316]

any idea where i can get a polaris one besides the dealer?

[bigblack316]

Oh well, I'm gonna break down and take it to the dealer, this will be the first time they need replaced in 6 yrs so $200 is kinda cheap.
