Anyone change the outer rear cv boots on a 2004.5 Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O.? I usually take it to the dealer but too many instances of forgotten stuff and mistakes lately, so I bought the boot kits and was going to do it this weekend. But I read on some atv forums that the rear axle has to be removed from the tranny and it is real tough to yank out and that you need to install new spring clips? I don't have any other parts like snap rings, etc. so not sure if I should try it, with the parts dealer closed for the weekend.
Do I really need to remove the whole axle or can it be done by just taking the hub off?
Thanks for any advice.
