RZR 1000 Drive shaft and carrier bearing removal

Remove center interior floor board and right front wheel.
Drive pin out of front yoke...I used a long rebarb that I ground one end down to a punch.
Unbolt carrier bearing.....then u can move rear shaft back and u can pull front part out of joint and out through the cab.
The rear part of drive line will not slide out the back with the carrier bearing still in tack ...it needs the metal bracket and the rubber removed.I used a large screwdriver to pry the rubber and the bracket off the bearing.Now the rear shaft will slide out the rear driverside with only the bearing still on.I slid it between the axle and top radius rod.
Then put the drive shaft in a vice and knock the bearing off.

I searched for instructions and found not much info ....so I thought I would share .
Some people said I had to unbolt the front diff and move it forward and remove belt cover ....this is not true.
The hard coolant pipes that run next to the carrier on pass side had come out of there clip in holders so that stumped me for a min because they were right over the pass side carrier bolt ...seeming impossible to get to the bolt. A firm amount of force and they were back in there spot so I could get to that bolt with a short socket and a extention.

I am taking mine to get balanced and installing greasable ujoints and a sandcraft carrier bearing.I will let you all know how it goes.
BTW mine has 950 miles and the rear ujoint was bad ,the front two were still in good shape.I never new the rear had a seized cap till I removed it .

Good info Craig!

Now I know why SandCraft does not do an install video like a lot of people have ask.I hope its smooth and last along time .....what a PAIN IN THE ASS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to install

Great thread.I have a 2013 xp 900 That also Failed along with the rear U joint between 900 - 1000 miles last weekend. I dismantled it just like you did. When you put it back together did you use the same pin in the front diff or a new one?

I used a bolt that sandcraft sent.
with the sand craft I had to unbolt the front diff and slide it forward a bit

I will have to check my box with my new carrier bearing to see if it came with one. I didn't get a sand craft. Couldn't find one for a xp 900 unless I looked in the wrong place

Thanks
