In this video, I walk you through to drain and replace the hub oil on a 2003 Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O. I assume the process would be the same or similar to other Polaris 4x4 ATVs. I'll be adding this video and others to a Polaris Sportsman ATV repair guide playlist.
I've owned a 2003 Polaris sportsman 4-wheeler for many years and I've always had good luck with it. Like any ATV, regular maintenance is required in order to keep it running properly. Many people in ATV forums express their dissatisfaction with the Polaris Sportsman 4-wheel drive system. Polaris has a unique system in place to provide 4-wheel drive when needed. This allows better control of the ATV when the 4wd system is engaged over ATVs that have locking hubs. The front-drive system permits the vehicle to be driven by the rear wheels as long as the front wheels rotate faster than the front-drive axles. If the rotational speed of the front wheels slows to less than the speed of the rear-drive axles, the front wheel hub s engage. Each front hub has an electrical engagement control and is referred to as a Hilliard clutch. I will admit that the electrical wires that Polaris uses to power the Hilliard clutch hubs are extremely thin and somewhat susceptible to failure over time. The instructions below outline steps that can be used to troubleshoot and maintain the Polaris Sportsman front wheel hubs that are used in the 4-wheel drive system. The Polaris Sportsman front wheel hub service and repair manual should be followed carefully and the process should be carried out by a trained technician.

I'm not sure why anyone would give a thumbs down on this video... he changed the fluid exactly how you're supposed to..good video bro..help me alot
Why not use the drain plug instead? I wouldn't drop the oil pain in my car to change the oil?
Thanks for the vid.I bit the bullet as well and forked over some good coin but at least I know Polaris fluids will keep my Sportsman running smoothly.
Use the fill hole 2 drain then turn 180 degrees to fill
awesome , exceptionally helpful, Keep it up. oil is in my amazon cart
You do good work from what I see.I have a Polaris that needs front struts new ones are to high.
You do good work from what I see. I have a Polaris I need front struts for. New ones are too high $174 for one.
Mike... my 2001 Sportsman 500 HO was placed on jacks for maintenance and while testing the AWD, I noticed the following:. The RF free spins when the other 3 tires stop. Is this normal operation for the front differential and hubs or do I have a problem? The AWD seems to work fine when riding. Thanks for your help, your videos and I have subscribed.
why not just drain it out the fill hole then you won't risk breaking the seal
The kids love it.
Very helpful, Thank you
When you took the center hub off
--- I would have waited until the water stopped running out before continuing.
Easy! Thanks for the vid. But yeah, it really looked like 3 oclock, you said 3 oclock. Think I'm gonna go 3:30 to be safe
HA that time link is actually right when you said 3oclock. what are the odds?
Good video, thank you.
I use type F transmission fluid like recommended
Fyi I have the clymer manual for my 97 Polaris sportsman 500 4x4 and my clymer manual does state that you can substitute ATF TYPE F for the demand drive fluid
Could this be the reason that one of my front tires aren't spinning in AWD or is the armatures? I have heard both, and don't really know which one to try!
how often should i replace my oil, hub oil, coolant etc?
I have a question my left side on my Polaris sportsman 2004 the 4x4 is not working but my axle is turning and my bearings are brand newthe right side is working perfect they told me I might have a bad hub hope to hear from you soon
Do you still have the Polaris 400
you can turn the wheel nd drain out the same hole you fill with...
will this help make the4x4 magnets engage again? My front hubs arent engaging..
The left side of my Polaris sportsman 2004 4x4 is not working but right side locks the left side axle keeps turning I did replace the axle what could it be
Iv lost awd on 99 sportsman. Have 12 volts going to hubs .could need to clean hubs?
Hi, would you be able to tell me the size of the O ring that goes into a 2003 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO carburettor? I am talking about the O ring that goes on the barrel that holds the float needle. I am having problems getting the right size and the right quality O Ring, the ones that are sold on eBay do not last, I am trying to get the Viton Fluorocarbon O rings. Can you please help?
Regards,
Franco
Manual says 4-o'clock. Its right there around 3-o'clock, I think that's good. Hahahahahaha
when i replace the wheel bearings do i pack them in grease or does the hub oil lub them
That rig has something called a Hilliard clutch inside the Hub. I think you're supposed to use the specified oil
My 400L is stuck in 4x4 the light does not light up ever, no mater where the button is its still in 4x4
The 4WD light does come on when I slide the switch but then only one spins. I have had the wheeler on the jack with all the tires off and I tried it in 4 wheel drive, and it didn't work. I took apart the hub and cleaned everything, and then I put everything back and the tire spun, but as soon as I put weight on it it doesn't spin at all!
the one way clutch outer race is probably spinning inside the hub..
hello my name is mark I have a 2015 how often do i do this thanks mark
It’s in your owners manual just look it up online
can another brand or type of oil/grease be used
Lol. True thanks
+frostyan
From my repair manual:
Polaris demand drive hub fluid (part No. 2871654).
or ATF Type F.
Transmission fluid is much cheaper.
ATF type f. Just picked it up at Walmart for $4
highly recommended to use Polaris brand of hub oil...
Where did get the plastic top for the fluid? I am having a hard time finding one.
can you show us how to wash a atv?
You make forest Gump sound brilliant
Mark, not mike... my apology!
I wheel bearing grease no good
