@@jonathanbennett4836 I bought this tool www.amazon.com/CNWOOAIVE-Joint-Cut-Off-Pliers-Banding/dp/B08JSF9RTM?pd_rd_w=YnQkh&content-id=amzn1.sym.e3825789-e6f0-4fb1-a407-ff4674fea50d&pf_rd_p=e3825789-e6f0-4fb1-a407-ff4674fea50d&pf_rd_r=B6JCHR6HX3DPZV1QZTN7&pd_rd_wg=Mulbj&pd_rd_r=a1d764ca-a6e0-4946-95c0-2d9ef376dbfa&psc=1&ref_=pd_basp_m_rpt_ba_s_0_sa I will say it is junk compared to professional ones I've borrowed, you can also check auto parts stores sometimes you can rent them. For me this is a one-time use tool.

Good call, it's not fun getting metal in the eye.

It was so amazing there I can't wait to go back in 25 I'm working out now so hopefully I can do more riding at altitude. Thanks for watching

@@thecitiots Rent the turbo doo next trip out you won’t have to work as hard. Trust me you won’t regret it. Then head up top and you’ll really see some country. You were pretty close to our trail in the blue creek bottom. I think our VRBO was next to yours, I recognized the house and trailer and sleds. 🤘🏻

@@Turbo850 sweet thanks for the advice, I'm looking at buying a g5 summit x. Right now they are still too expensive in your opinion should I spend the cash for a g4 turbo or go for a g5?

@@thecitiots If at all possible step up to the g5. The difference is absolutely amazing. I’ve owned both. I’d take a g5 over a tuned g4 any day. I’ll send a link from a few years ago in upper hotel creek. We had a mix of turbos that day. The g4 165 got destroyed by the g5 154 turbos

I'm glad you liked it, thank you for watching and commenting!

Thanks I'm glad you liked it, thanks for commenting!

I'm glad you liked the video, thanks for commenting!

I appreciate the feedback thank you! I will work on including those details in future videos as well.

These can be a pain, luck and the Internet is on your side.

How did it turn out?

Turn out good! Some people do it different! I normally unbolt a-arms out, I've done it your way seems a bit easier, I've change out my 2014 foreman 500. I've sold that wheeler now I'm getting a new 2024 ribicon 520.

@@thomasitta glad to hear it went well. New Rubicon sounds amazing I heard the ride quality is significantly better than my 13.

Got a winch and snow plow with it. Be next year snow plowing with it

@@thomasitta I hope you have snow, I didn't even pull my snowblower out this year

I'm guilty of the same just watching through the camera.

Was so much fun riding with these guys. I look forward to next year I hope you make it out. Cole is a talented rider I look forward to what he does next year. Thank you for watching!

We're a bunch of Flatlanders learning

@@thecitiots atleast you admit it

@@bertrenolds5 hoping to spend more time out west next year and change that. 3-5 days a year out west is not enough

Haha, he's so fun to film working on getting more clips up

@@thecitiots you bet. be safe out there!

@@johnnybrace will do got a great group of guys that help each other out. You do the same!

I’m a flatlander by birth and came to BC 25 yrs ago, we always make sure everyone has their avi gear and knows how to search😊

Awesome to see this reaching Ireland, I wish you luck, get that machine back in the dirt!

I'm glad you got something out of it. Thanks for commenting!

Oh that's so awesome to hear! Thanks for providing the feedback. It was so much fun sledding with the guys and re-watching these videos over and over again editing

It's fun watching all the raw videos and seeing how beautiful Idaho is. Was a great experience I'm excited for next year as well!

I need to buy a sled, I'm super pumped as well.

Should be the same as my 300, remove the screws. If it's hard to spin by hand pop out the dust cap and spin the adjustment wheel a few times and it will loosen up enough to pull it off. Penetration oil helps too. Last resort is heat.

She's got 93k on her now

Thank you for the feedback glad it helped

?

That's awesome nice ingenuity 🤘

All balls however I would buy official Honda parts was testing these as I know the spacers will wear the bearings faster.

Thanks for checking in 🤘

You got that with some penetrating oil?

Happy to help 👍

Hey thanks for the great feedback 🤘

I agree that would make things easier

It's not so bad once you see it done, that's what I like about KZfaq I've learned a ton here as well. I appreciate this nice comment 👍

I agree completely

Full of water?

@@thecitiots No inside the drum was excellent, and inside the axle tube was like new. They decided to switch to 4wd because there were no splines left in the rear hubs. It's hard to describe but the axle splines had gotten damaged a few mm at the point where they exit the drum. Sort of as if the axle had twisted at that point. Tried pressing, hammering, heating but only discovered the twisted splines after breaking the drum off

@@TheBlaert I've seen splines destroyed from water in the axel tube. That's awful new parts were recked, were you able to get the machine back on the trail?

@@thecitiots Yeah it's sorted now. New axle and 2 hubs. Full set of bearings. This machine in its lifetime has been sunk in a bog, barrel rolled down a big hill, caught fire and left on the side of a mountain in the winter for a month (on it's side). The guy who owns it is pretty rough 😂

@@TheBlaert sounds like he chose the right machine for the abuse

Awesome glad it was helpful and thanks for checking in hope you're doing some riding this weekend

I hear ya, so far mine are holding up. Press may have been a better choice only time will tell

Thanks I appreciate it 🙏, the water in the drum thought on that is hot metal and cooler water/mud will cause the drum to suck water in. Same concept of towing your boat trailer and when you put that hot drum assembly in the water it slips by. You can use silicone to help keep the seal supple.

Thanks for the tip hopefully I don't have to replace them but should get on it before the snow falls.

@@thecitiots Yep the oil cooling lines and the trans cooling lines will both do it. I plan to use transmission rubber line and fuel clamps in place of the factory rubber lines and crimps.

@@bradleysanders7376 I had the skid plate off this week looking at those again hope to order parts and get a video out but hunting season is upon us.

Are they seized up from sitting too long and rusted? Or from something else?

I think they are sticking one of the cables seems is super tight and no matter how much I back the wing nut off it still locks back up after pressing it once.@@thecitiots

@@michaellyda7460 I would check the position of the brake lever on the cam that goes into the drum. I've also had logs grab one of the cables and stretch it out while riding so no matter what you do you can't seem to get both hand and foot brake to adjust. Did you buy this new or second hand?

Thank you for the feedback,👍 I hope your riding isn't impacted by the fires thanks for checking in

Glad I was able to help thanks for the feedback 🙏

I didn't need to remove the top ball joint. Just the lower, tie rod, and strut. I used the "Master front end ball joint and tie rod remover kit" from harbor freight. It has a tool for removing the top one. As well as all the ones you need to do the rest

@@thomasleathers2201 I love that store, ball joint removal tool is a viable option. How did the tool work?

So does it make it easier to clean?

This one is a 2013

@@thecitiots thanks but it was the wrong year

@@user-ph5ev3ek8r concept is the same for different years part numbers may vary. I would recommend pressing in with a press if the freezer trick does allow you to get the bearing in all the way.

Does the 2017 use the same dust seals?

Thanks I appreciate the feedback 👍

I appreciate the knowledge I'll have a look when sun comes around.

Good to know, do they start to whine with four wheel engaged?

@@thecitiots Yeah it will be more noticeable with 4 auto engaged.

@@whales302 I'm approaching 90k in 6 months I'll keep a lookout next winter.

Yea, I've been trying to diagnose mine right now. It started getting a loud vibration in the left front wheel that is only related to speed and weight on that wheel. I assumed it was the wheel bearings and it wasn't. I'm hoping it isn't bearings in the front diff. I'm going to change the fluid. Could be CV axle but it's not showing the normal signs.

@@westonhorne when I worked in the shop we used to put them on the lift have someone run it through the gears and another would diagnose from below I would never do that on jack stands. Any front end play?

That's great advice once you get the drum off 👍

I appreciate your advice, larger corner posts would be much stronger. Mrs is on me about replacing it when I do I'll make sure I build it with safety first.

@@thecitiots if you have extra Door hinges , get at a local restore/habitat that will also add support , just drill them around areas you think are wabbly

@@richardim499 that's a creative idea those old hinges are strong and you can get old ones on the cheap at those home recycle stores.

Thanks for checking from across the pond I hope the video helps

Guessing they get away with it due to the view.

Very cool, how's the riding there?

If you can seal the garage decently and a warm vehicle inside will help a ton to keep the garage warm.

@@thecitiots I benefit from this in the winter and have to let my car cool off outside in the summer before I put it inside

@@silentvoiceinthedark5665 glad it's working out if you have tips to share please do

@@thecitiots Sharing tips sounds like a good idea, the only thing I can think of is about the moron that built my home and decided to put the dryer duct vent right next the central AC condenser, the coil is plagued with lint. I am going to relocate the duct outlet. This seems to be a problem with many homes. An AC system that has lint on the condenser coil runs at the fraction of efficiency.
