I have an atv ride this weekend and last night on a test ride my 01 polaris sportsman 500 decided to cook the right rear wheel bearing.
I got a new bearing coming wednsday, so theres hope but heres my question...
The damn inner bearing race (im assuming) is stuck to the friggin CV shaft.
The housing is made of aluminum and looks like this...
Back side.
Front side.
1- Do you think its safe to hook a jaw puller to the housing and try to press the CV out of the housing?
2- Can i use heat? (map gas)
3- Would i be safer to use a block of wood on the cv end and a sledge hammer first?
Any ideas is apperciated.
