Polaris Ranger Wheel Bearing Replacement | 2016 Polaris Ranger 900XP | Partzilla.com

Check out the Polaris Ranger 900XP wheel diagram:

In this video, we’ll show you how to replace the front wheel bearings on a Polaris Ranger 900XP. This job is pretty straightforward, though it will help if you have a press and a bearing driver set to push the old bearing out and then press the old one into place.

We’ll start by removing the wheel and then getting the hub assembly off of our Ranger by disconnecting the brake caliper and the upper and lower control arms. Then, we’ll get the hub apart and push out the old bearings. Then, replacing the wheel bearings on your Polaris Ranger is just a matter of reversing the process. John will show you how to select the correct bearing driver for both the removal of the old bearing and replacing it with a new one. Once we have the new wheel bearing in place, we’ll get the hub put back together and reinstall it on our Ranger.

Great video. It makes things easier to know the driver size. One set that was missing was the removal of the hub from bearing carrier. This step was challenging, seeing how a pro does it might have helped. Thanks again.

My goal in life is to be able to work as calmly as John. What a great video. I'm in the middle of putting new bearings, ball joints, and bushings in my Sportsman 850 SP and this video helps. Thank you!

It is a pure relax watching you at work John.

Great Video. Only thing I can add is once you get hub assembly off those torx screws are extremely tight. You'll need to heat them with a torch to burn off locktite then with dead blow hammer hit it to separate it

[davidlach]

Great video... all productive... no nonsense... thanks so much.

[matthewriordan-solidaxlesa]

Sometimes if u can’t find just the right size driver you can use the old bearing to press the new one in.

I'm having trouble finding a video on changing the REAR wheel bearings. Do you have one?
This one is awesome for the fronts, but I am having trouble with the rear ones.

[TrickyRicky]

Awesome video very helpful, thank you!

[scotthood]

Would be nice if you showed separating the hub from the rotor assembly.

So I am a little confused about the bearing washers still. It looked like you were putting the cupping to bow out in the middle. Or is it supposed to bow in in the middle. I'm not seeing it as beveled but cupped.

Ty it's so clear I hope that it will be so easy for me lol

[Hi-Tech-Ray]

what exactly is that socket thing in which the bearing drops in? is it the same thing used for support using under side when pressing in the bearing? where can i find it?

[Dooguy]

What if you don't have that fancy bearing pusher tool.

[MrFeetlett]

What size bearing driver did you use to push out the old bearing and what size to press in the new bearing?

[novafourtwoseven]

Will these torque values apply to a 2017 Ranger xp 1000 with the same problem? thanks

[howardshaw]

are the bearings the same size for rear? my rears are smoked

[marcelinodarren]

damn, I can only find one caliper mount for one side. and I don't know if its the left or right. I cant even tell if that brake mount is universal or not.

[thomgiljr]

Where did you get the drive on UTV lift table?

[johncimino]

Question, when you reinstalled the castle nut washers, you said to install them with the bevel facing inward, is that correct ?

[chig]

why did you leave out how you got the brake rotor part off thats what i need to know!
