Great video. Thank you for sharig your time and experience. Pretty new to the ATV world (2004 Sportsman 700 EFI twin). Original plan was to replace all axles to get rid of a front and rear torn boot and the remaining boots all of which appear to be weather cracking; all suspension bushings due to complete deterioration of most of them; changing differential, transmission and engine lubricants; fuel sender and fuel lines, fuel tank vent hose and replacing the aluminized heat shield material on the fuel tank. Purchased axles and bushings but had to change plans because I was unable to get the first front axle out of the differential. Tried everything I could google but could'nt get it to budge and was concerned about damaging the differential so just replaced the front boots. Looking forward to watching your "Billy Bad A$$ 700" video in hopes it shows how to finally got yours out/off. Anyway, thank you for sharing your time and expertiese
@@weldonlangley245 I wasn’t able to show getting the fronts off, but I think I talked about it. I used a pry bar from the top between the the axle and differential and hammered it straight down into the gap. There’s nothing in there to hit when it bottoms out other than the splines on the axle shaft. Mine were rusted in place. With just a touch of grease the new ones went in easily.
Enjoyed the video. Looking forward to the next one.

Hi where do you buy most of your bushings and bolts and axles?
@@andrewinsinga2993 I use Amazon mostly. I like brands like Caltric, Quad Logic, and Niche. They all work pretty well.
