- How to Replace Honda 300 Front Axles
Testing the Eastlake axles out on the Honda 300
One Honda fourtrax front axle: amzn.to/3tec83Q
Both front axles and diff seal kit: amzn.to/3jEVkzR
Ball joint separator: amzn.to/2VgCLbO
When I do boot replacement or new CV axels on ATVs I usually just drop the lower A arm at the frame rather than knocking off the lower ball joints. The ball joints are usually pretty abused and unless customer specifies replacement, I don’t want to make them looser by the removal of joint from the A arm.
That’s a good suggestion!
@WestTexasStyle: Thanks for the tip. I just detached the lower A-arm, the bottom of the shock, and the hub assembly and they came right out. The biggest pain in the butt was the C- clips on the new CV Axels were sloppy and would not allow the axel to go in. I ended up removing the c-clips from the OEM cv axels and using them. Went in without a hitch.
Thanks for the tip.
Thanks! I was trying to get the top A arm off instead. Did the bottom like you did, got the ball joint off with an "L " bar. Video was very helpful!
Glad it was able to help you!
Thanks Cheyenne! I got a new set of CV axles when I purchased my used Trx 300 from the seller. His boot was torn a few years prior to him selling it, and he had purchased a pair, but never replaced them as his gorilla tape and zip ties were holding up okay. So, before this winter sets in I am going to install them. Your example will help me get 'er done! I will check on those lower ball joints before I do this, as I don't think I will want to break it down again just to fix those too! Keep up your good video examples...
Thank you! And yeah don’t be like me. Check them beforehand so you don’t have to do the work twice lol 😂
LOVE how the woman says UP, Mam, who did you learn your mechanical skills from? You give me the fizz with them wrenches, GOOD job
Thank you! 😅
Good video, easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions. Beyond my capability, however.
Thank you!
Fantastic video, Lets go and try the job. Thanks again.
Thank you and good luck!
I could tell those ball joints were toast as soon as you started jacking it up lol😂. Good video though, it's nice to see my native people's doing good😎.
Yeah I hadn’t really looked at them 🤣 the new ones came in today😎 and thank you!
Thanks for posting this up; pulling the spring/shock bottom shackle proved to be the key to making this literally a 15 minute job to swap the CV axle on my Rincon. One thing though: Why on eartth did you not clean the diff socket and hub then liberally apply grease to everything prior to assembly? Those splines don't like to be dry, and they surely don't like to ride on rust.
Hey thanks for watching! And I applied grease off camera. Grease gets everywhere so easily and I didn’t want it on my camera.
at the beginning when you mentioned the can am guys an them hating the axle, the Honda isn't putting out no where near as much power as those big canam's and so the axles actually do a decent job in my opinion
Yes I agree. These can’t handle the high hp can ams have. However on lower hp machines I think they are a good option for oem pole replacement
@@CheyenneBullard 100% agree!
Good job, I'd just recommend grease on spline before reinstall
Your amazing! I love watching your vids on your 300.
Thank you! Been trying to build it up! Thanks for watching!
@@CheyenneBullard Need MORE face time, had one slip by me & you had your hair all did up, which one was that??? I can't find it
Got them in my sportsman 570 they are holding up and I’ve had them in some test
That’s awesome to hear man! These have surprised me already!
@@CheyenneBullard yes ma’am there worth what you pay for
@@ethannorton4854 definitely already got my money’s worth out of them this past Saturday 😂
Love watching your videos
Thank you!
How did the East Lake axles hold up?
Coming from a man that does every type of mechanical repair from small engine repair to automotive to heavy equipment and semi truck repairs. The only thing sexier than watching your mechanical video posts would be to watch you doing these in a bikini Cheyenne ❤️😍!
Goodness, I had no idea... you are so beautiful 💐
Thank you!
You are most welcome. Hope you have a wonderful 4th of July 💐
Just what I needed, how have those axles held up? Im about to order a set for my 91 model.
They are still going strong even on the 33s!
If u just grab the cv axle and yank it by hand pops right out I never pry on a differential
I tried but this was a little resistant. I typically try to be gentle when prying
Where can I get that LED headlight conversion kit?

Great video from a pretty gal.
Thanks!

I put a new one on mine but now it leaks fluid is there a seal that goes in wit the axel or do i need try tapin it in dint do that
Check to make sure. Usually there’s an axle seal on most atvs.
What shocks did you use to get your Lyft
Rancher shocks
Shine I'm sure you can change the motor in a small truck......👍👍👍👍😂
Your callipers are still one the wrong size they go on the back
Are you running any gear reduction?
Not yet!
Going to Deep Creek this weekend for the event. Taking my 850 outlander, 600 Grizzly, and the mighty 97 300 Honda. Just did the disc conversion yesterday. Hope it works well.
Been enjoying your videos. Keep it up. Hope to see you riding this weekend.
@@briangardner9576 it should work great! I plan on being out there as well. Unfortunately i won’t be riding though. But swing by and say hi!
You need invest in you some good tools lol
Harbor freight ones are getting me by currently 😂
Looks like these tools did the job. What else can you ask for?
