Hello all, new member here with a new to me 2008 RTV 900. I've had a read around here and it looks like there's plenty of helpful people here who know what they're talking about. The UTV needs a bit of TLC - as well as performing a full service I am replacing the rear axle bearings and UJs as they are completely trashed. Plenty of info and guides out there for that.
My other job is to replace the centre drive shaft as the CV/UJs here are also trashed. This has the (I think newer style) 1 piece drive shaft.
So I'm wondering if anyone here can offer any wisdom on how to achieve this? I've scoured the internet for advice on how to do this with no luck, the WSM doesn't appear to cover this procedure, and the WSM for the 1100 model describes the procedure for removing the similar but different drive shaft on that model as pulling the CV assembly backwards and off the input/output shaft splines. As most jobs are rarely simple.....it can't be that simple can it?
It has occurred to me that it could be so easy that no one else needs to ask, or it's something not attempted by a home gamer such as myself. Given that Kubota have already relieved me of a painful sum in replacement parts I want to save some money and do it myself if at all possible!
Any advice is gratefully received!
