I have always used a carbide burr to cut the snap ring and grind a slot in the bearing then drill a hole at the back of the bearing and apply a liberal amount of 5 lb sledge blows to the back.

Oh man, I’m in the same boat. This is the job I’m about to take on, not the work or repairs that I’m concerned about, it’s the getting the pinion bearing out, got a brand new axle and ring gear on the way but my pinion has some mild damage like small pits and one spot a tiny piece out of the tooth. I was going to attempt to smooth and polish the pinion gear with out remove material but may just have to buy a new one. Btw very good video man. You did awesome and very helpful.

Like I said in the video getting the pinion bearing is by far the hardest step. Nine times out of ten the bearing is bad and needs to be replaced. I have had some come out in 15 minutes and some take 2 hours to get out trying different methods.

Replaced just the axle shaft a year and a half ago on a 2014 Foreman, same thing as this is wore in the same way. Well now something else let go last week, not sure if the axle shaft wore again, or the ring or pinion gear failed. Mechanic looking at it now, will update when I get a diagnosis

I don't replace many ecu's on these bikes. I will check the plug, coil, plug wire, handlebar killswitch, and even the rectifier on these bikes can make them not fire. The testing procedure for the ECU is pretty much check everything electrical and if everything checks out then your ECU is bad.

Hey man really appreciate what you do I’m trying to replace the seal where the drive shaft goes into the diff. On a 2018 foreman 500 straight axel the driveshaft goes through the swing ark frame and I’m unsure how to remove it to get to the seal. Without unbolting the whole diff from the swing arm. Any help

Hey man, great video. My question is: I have a 2017 Rancher with solid axle, I think the pinion has gone but I won't know until I tear it down. Does Honda use the same axle on the foreman as they do on the rancher. Basically will I run into anything different on my rancher, Thanks

If you just need to replace the drive shaft, you can pull the diff off like I did in the video a pull the shaft out. It takes a little patience to get the shaft to line back up with the universal joint that attaches to the motor but it can be done. If you need to replace the universal joint that attaches to the output shaft of the motor then you will have to pull the swing arm off to get it out. I don't think I have a swing arm removal video on a 500 but I think I have a video of a similar one. I will find it and post a link.

Got a 02 foreman for free. Everything is worn-out. Rear diff was dry and full of thick rust. Seems like it has never been serviced. All brake components are seized or missing. Doesn't shift. All bearings shot and rod ends wasted. Missing some plastics. Digital dashboard completely shot.

I'm rebuilding one of those right now. Some the parts are reasonable however some are super expensive. For instance I had to get the crankshaft rebuilt on them because they're no longer available from Honda. Also some of the plastic pieces are very expensive and used stuff has been tough for me to find. They are very good four-wheelers but you would really have to dump some money in it to get it right.

@FourwheelerDoctor
@FourwheelerDoctor 4 жыл бұрын
No it sounds like you have two seals that have gone bad. The axle seal on the right side of the diff and the seal on the left side of the rear brake plate. They can be purchased separately from Honda but if you go with aftermarket seal kits you will probably have to purchase a axle kit as well as a differential kit.
