ATV CV BOOT REPLACEMENT - ARCTIC CAT 500

Replacing the torn CV Joint Boot on our ATV.
This was after failing at the first attempt to remove it. Check out that video too if you get a chance.
The first attempt I was unable to remove the axle from the ATV despite how simple all the videos made it look. Because I couldn't get it out I had to find an alternate method of changing the boot which of course is what you will see in this video.
The kit I use was a universal boot kit from E-bay and it did not fit the way I would have wanted it to, but it did do the job. Hope this video helps you!

After several attempts at removing the axle as seen in other KZfaq videos, Richie finally gave up and simply disassembled it in place. Sometimes a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do! Bottom line, ATV is up and running so work and fun here we come!

Nice job! I think I have the same ATV. I need to change two of my CV boot. Can I ask you how the new boot held up on your atv?After you used them for awhile. Thank you for this great video! ATB Tom

@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid 5 жыл бұрын

East Grand Woodsman yes. The boot I used I bought on eBay and it wasn’t a great fit but it is holding up fine so far. It was a universal replacement part. Let me know what you decide to do and how it works out. Or if you have any more questions. -Rich

Hey nice video . I am in Oz and have similar model Artic Cat , what I was interested in is the cv boot guard do you have any more info in regards to where , how this came about . Cheers Grant Australia

@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid 2 жыл бұрын

All I can share is that I found the boot kit on e-bay. It was a while back so I really don't have more information than that. Sorry it took me so long to respond, I honestly only just saw the comment. Hope you figured it out.

@granthanan3241 2 жыл бұрын

@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid yeah thanks for the heads up. I managed to source something that would normally go on a old model Holden vehicle Re the boot. And I fabricated some guards similar to the ones on your ATV. Thanks
