I'll bring a jack to Windrock..................

Yeah I got to see this. Smith, your wheels are going to fall off your buggy.......

X3...lol


Yea I used the blind bearing puller, excellent investment wish I had purchased one sooner.... Thanks for the tip bro! Changed both sides in about 40-45 minutes which included installing and removing the wheels....

If these fail as soon as the Allballs I believe my next set will be from Yamaha!!!! That or I may have to go back with a set of 5+2 wheels...

Boys, I'm not joking around, we had it took to the dealer 2 times for a one-way bearing going out. And when they had it, for some reason they reset the odometer on it, as it only shows 717 miles on the odometer right now, but the dealer reset the ODO at the first 880 miles, and then at 1609 miles.....but if you add it up it comes up to 3206 miles
717+880+1609=3206
We just ride easy and cruise along about 5MPH on the trails....no deep mud for me!

Did they reset the actual odometer or the trip odometer? Mine has two trip odometer that can easily be reset then the actual odometer that cannot be reset to my knowledge...

They reset the odometer, the one you can't reset on the dash buttons. That is why it only shows 717 miles right now.

Ive got my rears off right now the only prob is the blind bearing puller kit the biggest piece in it seems to not be big enough? Am i a tard or what should i try?

My kit came from Harbor freight and it works great! You may have a kit designed for smaller bearings..

NVM figured it out got the rears done and one left to go on the front I broke one of the bearings off in there tho and its not wanting to come out im about to take the torch to it and bang it out

Yeah that is the one you need. Harbor freight Blind bearing puller. Man was I ever happy to find that thing.

I think I made a little video using mine! I will look and see if I still have it..

That would be a good idea. I think I took pics the first time I used mine. I will look for them also.

Man that is odd.....

Yea...it's weird for sure....
My ODO reset back to zero though.....not the tripmeters either, the odometer. I thought it was illegal to reset the odo on cars and things???

I guess I deleted the vid! I will try to remember to make one the next time I change them..

got em done and new front brakes!! Im debating on lockin her up till jan 20th so she will be perfect!

This is an interesting thread and it seems I'm not alone changing bearings. I have been cursed with this on all my atv's and after the factory ones give up the replacements become sooner. I will say I have tried factory open and aftermarket sealed bearings and cannot tell a difference in the lifespan but I will say all my bearings was innocent bystanders it was the seal that failed and let all the bad stuff in to begin with.
In case you get low on grease may want to try some Bel-Ray waterproof grease most of the others are water resistant but even this one will be defeated in time.

I started packing my Rhino bearings with marine grease before I put them in. As a matter of fact it was the last time I replace the bearings. I have only put 400 miles on it since but they are doing good for now.
