Went to pull the front axle on a buddy's prowler today,after finding a ripped boot.but the axle had other things in mind,and the shaft came out of the coupler that goes into the diff,I've beat the hell out of it and pryed at it and she won't come out,not even the slide hammer will do it.what should I do?

I will get some pictures later

The detent ring on the inside of the axle releases by PUSHING IN on the axle then pry out against the diff. It's the wierdest design I've ever seen in my 24 years as a professional mechanic. It takes 2 people usually. One pushing hard straight in as the other prys out like normal.

      21 gc1k cv axle
      By chadd
      Hi all, i have a 2021 gc1k  with the tbg eng, and i am needing frt cv axles, on a review of a oem intimidator axle on ebay the buyer stated that they were exactly the same as a 08-12 rzr 800? Has anyone else ran into thiz? When i look at the 2 side by side the only diff i see is the inner joint of the oem axle looks exactly like the outer joint,but the rzr axle inner joint has the slide deep cup?

      Utv wont start and broken fuel injection wire
      By Jeff freeman
      I have a Coleman 550.  Was having problems to start with where it would start and then shut off after a couple tries. It would take off and be good. It then got to a point where it would not start at all. I replaced the fuel injection twice the second time I replaced it I noticed a mouse or something had chewed one of the wires that connect the electrical to the fuel injector. . So two-part question first does anybody have a part number for that wire harness?  Second, any other ideas after I fix the wire harness permanently on what could keep it from starting I have gas flow up to the fuel injector.

      Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for a 2014 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work.

      I posted this before , but I had the year wrong. The part I need is for a 2014, I don't know what all years will work, but I need the 2 bearing style with the spacer in the middle. It looks like this pic. If anyone has one I'll buy it rite away. my email is [email protected]. Thanks, RC

      Looking for a left rear shaft carrier (just the carrier) for a 2007 Joyner 1100 sand viper

      Hope I posted this in the right place. Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for an 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work. I need the old style two bearing with the spacer in the middle, the new style with just the one wide bearing wont work. If anybody has one I'll buy it right away. my email is [email protected]
