ATV CV BOOT REPLACEMENT - ARCTIC CAT 500

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Replacing the torn CV Joint Boot on our ATV.
This was after failing at the first attempt to remove it. Check out that video too if you get a chance.
The first attempt I was unable to remove the axle from the ATV despite how simple all the videos made it look. Because I couldn't get it out I had to find an alternate method of changing the boot which of course is what you will see in this video.
The kit I use was a universal boot kit from E-bay and it did not fit the way I would have wanted it to, but it did do the job. Hope this video helps you!

    After several attempts at removing the axle as seen in other KZread videos, Richie finally gave up and simply disassembled it in place. Sometimes a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do! Bottom line, ATV is up and running so work and fun here we come!

    East Grand Woodsman yes. The boot I used I bought on eBay and it wasn’t a great fit but it is holding up fine so far. It was a universal replacement part. Let me know what you decide to do and how it works out. Or if you have any more questions. -Rich

    All I can share is that I found the boot kit on e-bay. It was a while back so I really don't have more information than that. Sorry it took me so long to respond, I honestly only just saw the comment. Hope you figured it out.
