Back in the late 1990's I worked at Polaris of Texas as a yard helper with my best friend. When the mechanic quit the owner came back there and showed us where the shop manuals were at and told us to get to work fixing the 4-Wheelers and water craft. The best I remember on those Sportsman 400's is that you almost always had to pull the front diff and split it to remove a broken left axle.

when CV stuck cup is stuck like that, the best method is to drill through the splined shaft and fill the void with WD40 or another penetrating fluid leave it to soak, sometimes for weeks then try the slide hammer again. if that fails tap the hole and fit a air connector and fill the void again, use air to force the WD40 into the splines until it gives way. Common problem on the Honda Fl400r pilot where they get dipped in water this method has never failed me yet but they can put up a fight. P.S. fix the Hovercraft i can't stand to see it rotting in your field anymore.

Joe, my brother had a Cub Cadet ATV with a front axle seized in like that. He brought it to me, and I FINALLY got it to come out. It took several sessions per day, over 3 or 4 days, of soaking it in penetrating oil, heating it with a torch, water quenching it, pounding on it (in and out) while prying, re-soaking with penetrating oil, and cycling through those techniques over and over and over again. It finally relented. I think the combination of heat, oil, and pounding eventually broke up the rust enough around the locking ring it finally broke free. BUT you have to stay after it, and keep pounding on it. The penetrating oil I used was Tri-Flow. It's pretty expensive, but it is for reasons. I don't use it except the last case, as it's way more cost effective to use Liquid Wrench, or PB Blaster first, if those will work (which they do 80% of the time). That Tri Flow is amazing stuff though. You'll get it.

I have solved the same CV issue by welding a plate to the stuck CV axle that has 2 or 3, 3/4" nuts also welded on it so you can thread a long 3/4" bolt into each nut. Take some pieces of scrap metal as backers so you don't damage to housing and crank on the bolts in an even pattern, hit it with a hammer as you are pulling and it should help free up that snap ring and it should pull the shaft out. I have had to do this many times when coming across frozen CV shafts in SXS and ATV's.

Grab two prybars and a buddy to help. That will give you a straighter pry on the stub. Keep spraying it with penetrating fluid too. That slide hammer should work, but I think you're trying to pull it on an angle. May have to remove the strut or tie it back to get a straighter pull if you continue using the slide hammer. Also, as is, the force from your slide hammer is all going into your welds/cup. Everytime you slide, there's at least 3/4" movement at the end of your tool. If you can secure it somehow, or use hooks on the differential side of that cup, it will direct more force to the axle stub and give you a higher chance of removing it.

Stick 2 pry bars, opposite each other, between the case and the back side of the cup. pry on both bars at the same time to lever the cup free of the case. Sometimes you can get by with a single pry bar, but as hard as that cup is stuck, I'd use two to keep the pressure equal on both sides. You might even need to use the slide hammer in conjunction with the bars to shock the ring.

That’s a Harley pipe lol I’m still watching but a big thing with the Polaris is the throttle contacts under the cover if they touch it’ll break up or not start

If it is like a car axel housing. Pull out the entire axel unit. Split it apart and remove the clip that is holding the axel. As you can tell by the new axel there is a thicker clip that holds it in.

hey Joe, that axle seem to give ya a p-lus... I may not know much.. may have to open the case, to remove the clip.. I done a few repairs involving removing bent axle half from front wheel drive.. un-bolt cv joint cage, remove the clip and the axle slip out like hot knife in butter

Sometimes on those axles you have to push in and the pry out to release that locking ring.

If by the end of this vlog you haven't managed to remove the broken driveshaft .Would it be easier to try to remove the other side if the diff unit is hollow all the way through and use a heavy drift and and heavy hammer to drive the broken piece out ?

Take a long heavy chain and hook it or weld it onto that broken piece of axle. Then crack the chain like a whip. It’ll take that axle out. Ive done that on a few different vehicles. Had an old timer teach me that trick.

Drill or grind an opening in the base of that" Cup." Use a puller on the inner STUCK shaft and cup. PB Blast it overnight first. You got this!

I’d like to see a project involving an ATV with EFI to see how troubleshooting, cleaning, maintenance, etc. would differ.
