Coleman HS500 UTV Driveshaft to engine seal

2018 (Hisun) Coleman UT500 UTV

I need to replace the oil seal where the front driveshaft attaches to the engine. 

 How the heck do i access the nut that holds the yolk on to the engine shaft?

I'm not familiar with the 500, but if you're talking about the pinion nut (#6) to replace seal (#8) I believe you're going to have to remove the u-joint.

The service manual for these things says to put the u-joint in a press, not sure about you, but I don't have a press large enough to get the whole UTV into, and the driveshaft isn't bolted to a flange like on a bigger vehicle, so we're going to need an alternate method. If you google how to remove a u-joint without a press several methods come up for you to try.

Sorry I can't offer you better advice, but let us know how you manage so the next guy has an easier time. Pictures are always helpful too.

Yep  had to disassemble the u-joint on board,  then it wasn’t so bad

Just out of curiosity what method did you use for dissasembly of the u-joint? I've never done a u joint on something this small only on trucks.

It really wasn’t bad. Remove the clips & most of the caps came out fairly easy. I used a screwdriver to tap them out
