Nice video. It helped me change mine. One tip for you though, if you take the inner boot off, you can basically use the axle as a slide hammer to pop it out of the housing. It was much easier.
Take the bottom shock bolt off and lift out of the way, a straight shot let’s you use the cv axle like a slide hammer to pop it out. The extreme angle the axle sits at without doing this makes it more of a fight.
Thanks for the video, mine was seized up bad like the one you showed, too k me forever. I'm replacing the plunger joint but i can't get it off the shaft. I have the boot off and everything, i would think there would be a snap ring holding the joint on, but i don't see anything. Any ideas?
Hey Dustin, thanks for the comment. This video shows the breakdown on a different make/model than what your working on, but most of the one's I've worked on are very similar. th-cam.com/video/O6LC_sv6cE8/w-d-xo.html
Great video. I had a problem getting my plunge joint out but finally succeeded using two 1/8" cable looped around behind it 180 degrees apart and a slide hammer, but I digress. I purchased a Sixity replacement rear axle but can't get the inner splines to slide into the transmission. I put anti-seize on the splines and used a rubber mallet on the outboard end per the shop manual, but it won't go in. In your experience, do you think it might take a more aggressive persuader than a rubber mallet?
Ron, it is possible that it's just rust build up. Before getting to aggressive I'd suggest miching both the splines going into the rear end and new Sixty replacement axle. If it that looks good I'd probably try cleaning the rear end splines with a SOS pad and then use more persuasion it needed. Hope that helps and thanks for the comment.
Jason, Thanks for the quick reply. The new Sixity splines major diameter appears to be about 0.005 inch larger than the old splines. Don'r know if that's the problem or not. I'm in touch with Sixity. Thanks.
The video was great. I am having the same problem as Ron. Seems as though the inner splines just won't fit. I would be interested in hearing what Sixity came up with. So close but so far away.

Informative video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Thanks for posting this!! VERY helpful!!
Yes Sir, appreciate the comment!
Wish this video dealt with the Solid Rear Axle on the 02 polaris ranger. The axle shaft is stuck and i can't get it out.
I flipped my 2020 polaris ranger ep1000 it looks like the part of the axle that's goes into the diff fell out what would it look like if it snapped
great job to the point ☝️ no b. s keep up the great videos

Great, let us know how it goes

It is a 9/16 bolt that holds the tire on just so you dont srip it and put mediem strength thred locker on the to bolts that hold on you brake caliper
I am about to dig into my axles. What is the name of the goo you used on the spined end?
Dan Wilsford it's Anti Seize, pick it up at any parts store.
