Thx for posting this! Your technique did the job for my 2013 Can Am Commander 1000 when everything else I tried failed. It was especially helpful showing how much force was needed to pop it loose. I had to use my High Lift jack as a lever though on my machine bc the A Arms are configured differently. It wasn't pretty cranking on that $#@% thing with A LOT more force than I ever thought necessary but it finally came loose. Glad to see other people improvising a way to get a job done.
Thanks. Might have to try that racheting strap around a wheel hub and attached to the frame underneath. The control arm on a Caliber doesn't have the range of motion.
Great technique I'll add to the toolbox - bigger question is, how on earth do you keep your machine so showroom floor clean??!! Wow! I live in Alaska and most of our rides involve swamps, water crossings, mud, etc. Meaning lots of maintenance and the occasional stuck axle that you experienced. Slide hammer has been my go-to, but I'll definitely try this next time. Thanks!
So I had this happen to me on my rzr in the front on both shafts. When I get them out of the diff are my axles now junk? Or can I put them back together?

Right on!!! Glad it worked out.

Thanks man. This worked beautifully of my bruteforce despite my doubts.
It actually works, Thank You!!!!! I was so in a bad way, this trick saved the day👍 Awesome
Thanks for sharing this! I used the technique tonight on my 88 TRX300FW and it worked perfectly! Awesome!
This worked really well. We had the exact issue and this popped it right out!

Rick's a stickler for a clean work space. He's worked in some pretty messy jobs in his life - it probably helps keep him clean and organized nowadays.
Thank-you I just did that after a hour of hammering and prying
Best I seen so far that was great
Made my life easy!! Thanks brother
We've had them stick before too, but now we use lots of anti seize on them and we don't have any problems with them coming out.
It did work after I adjust the strap in the right position!
Thanks
How do you do the rear if it it’s stuck
Hope it works on my talon thanks again
worked good.but took a few tries the strap kept falling off.i had to hold down the bottom a-arm with the strap tight then give a tug on the axle also.
Thank you! You saved my ass some time.
My rear axles are both stuck in the differentualwe have tried pullers chains every thing we can think of they won't come out
So I had this happen to me on my rzr in the front on both shafts. When I get them out of the diff are my axles now junk? Or can I put them back together?
I have the same question. What did you figure out?
Same Question
Axle was never stuck, no rust
