Man, you are bringing back some memories here bud! Thanks for all your help when I removed mine, it went smooth. Looking forward to your new ride.
Any time!
Oh let me tell you there were many curse words when I tried the first time!
Useful video, thank you for this. I have my -10 xp 850. Gladly it had kinda riser plates on eps unit and you can unbolt the eps from side.
Good vid bud 🤘
It’s not the most fun job, hopefully it helps someone else
Great info !! I hope I never need to remove mine
Thanks for watching!
New subscriber here, thanks for your videos, good info. Xp1000 rider.
Glad to have you along, and appreciate the support
Hey there, you might be able to answer my question. Does the lower steering post with the bearing have to be put back on a certain way to be aligned? Cause I took mine off and put it back on and now my rod is making a bunch of noise and didn’t before
it only fits on one way. It may have been damaged when you removed it as it can get stuck in there good. Or noise could be you EPS unit or the upper steering bushing
have a 2021 hl xp 1000 there's a hose on front of front diff that's hanging down I've been told it could be a breather hose but if not we're would it hook up too
Yes its a vent hose which allows the differential to breathe. There are several on the machine. The end of it is left open on purpose. You should have 3 or 4 of them...
Could you give a link of that pinion cover. The piece you replaced the adc with
Search 'Custom Motoquad' out of Quebec.
What is the easiest way to change out the lower steering stem/post. The bearing on my 2013 850XP has upward play and im going to be replacing the lower steering post with the new pinch bolt version. Is it possible to unbolt the power steering unit , the inner tie rods and bull the handle bars upward and make enough room to slide out the lower steering stem?
You cannot access all the EPS nuts and bolts without removing fuel tank. Plus the steering post is 2 pieces. You will likely need to basically do everything in the diff removal process, pop the lower steering assembly and slide differential ahead to remove the part.
@@ADVENTURESThisWay 3:20 you said there's a way around to not remove the fuel tank
@@MegaMikerojas yes do what I did I the video, but don't need to remove the diff from the frame
Did you loosen the collar around the steering colum right above the bearing? I can't get the diff to lift up at all. The bracket is lifted up off the diff but bearing won't come out, it's loose but won't lift high enough to come out
No you can't reach all those bolts or nuts. That's why manual call to remove fuel tank. If you have bearing loose and will move but not quite clear, you have to push the diff forward and then up and it will clear. You removed winch, right?
@@ADVENTURESThisWay I move the winch so it's out of the way. My problem is when I try lift the diff it pushes the bearing/steering shaft up just barely and it stops. I can see it pushing the power steering . I'm wondering if the bracket that the tie rods are attached to is supposed to be able to slide up and down the steering shaft a little. Mine doesn't at all. It may be due to mud build up. I tried lube on the shaft but no luck yet. I can't get the dif to lift even a 1/4 inch and everything is unbolted from the diff
@@tvr12speed3 yes its likely jammed with crud. Keep spraying it down with lube. You don't actually need to remove the inner tie rod ends but it may give you more room to work. Do you have the 2 bolts removed that attach the lower steering stem to the diff?
And yes there should be some play, it's just stuck. Of course you could go to the proper method and remove the fuel tank and the un bolt every thing...
@@ADVENTURESThisWay the tie rids are hung up or off the way. I took the bolts out of the top of the diff. It must just be stuck with crude. Hopefully letting the lube soak down there for a day will loosen up the steering shaft and will let it move enough to pop that bag boy out. Thank you for all your help! This video saved me a ton of headaches!
Are you parting it out? I might need some parts for my 850! I have bad cracking noise under acceleration
Yes it was parted out, a few odds and ends left
@@ADVENTURESThisWay I'm interested to get Cecco pinion cover.
@@imantsgaroza that’s gone, but I do have the rear Diff brace
@@ADVENTURESThisWay I'm interested. How much?
@@imantsgaroza send me a message on facebook or instagram
Dam !! Ya I can’t do this stuff on my Chan , just desert 🌵 vids lol and my middle name is Don ! Good name sir . Well you have a new S-u-B AND ITS ME LOL 😂
Right on thanks for stopping by...who doesn’t like deserts??
@@ADVENTURESThisWay anytime 😉
Did someone say they were donating out power steering units to the 1st reply ;) lol
Ha ha good one!
I would sell heavily discounted though
@@ADVENTURESThisWay does it fir an 850 HL?
I just took out my front diff on my scrambler last week...not fun! I didn't have to move my winch tho...
@@mnels18 it makes it so much easier!
Yep it’s a pain if seized to the shaft from the EPS unit
@@EC_ATV_Outdoors it will fit, and I have all the parts available BUT the ECM is different after 2015 therefore not compatible so I’m told
