Thank you. When you pulled that seal and I saw all that shrapnel in there, I said, "Yep, that's all the pieces I found on my frame!" My seal had come out of the housing. Your videos are really going to help me out.
Great tutorial! Do you happen to know if the front differential removal procedure is the same for a 2021 Pro XD 2000D diesel? Can't find anything on it, and can't even find the factory service repair manual to purchase online. Thanks!
Just a follow up on this for anyone else looking in the future, it is the same except the bracket on the right side of the front differential was not present on this model, but the roll pin removal is the same. If the machine has a lot of hours on it and has been through a lot of mud and water, definitely soak it well with PB blaster and start at the end of the roll pin that is flush with the drive shaft yoke and don't hit the end that is sticking out. You definitely don't want tomorrow the inside of the bore, so use the appropriate size punch, and if you can't get a good square hit on it then use a center punch that has the sharp tip on it which will go in the middle of the road portion and allow good stability. Hit it several times until it barely starts to move has a lip/shoulder so a regular punch will not catch on the inner bore of the drive shaft yoke, then use a regular punch and beat the hell out of it until it comes out.
Can you get a small wood hammer shaft behind the gear and lever it out or a tap with a brass punch and plenty of wd40. It should then just pull out. Have you taken out the retaining clip?
So many times, there is no oil in the Demand Drive. The way things are getting banged around maybe Polaris should put an itty bitty dipstick angled downward from the passenger side. Threaded & easy access. Hmmm, I bet I could figure a way to do that from the vent hole, other side with a zip tie slid in or some such!
@@truck-tek Maybe if out of the way, IDK about flying rocks. To me it's amazing these differentials take the abuse they do, without oil nothing will last. Make it easier to check would be a good step.

This is a great video. Very easy to follow. I am impressed

At a guess I would imagine it's the same.

great video, thanks!
I can't get the shaft and bearing out... it catches. Yours slid out so easy. What can I try?
