What is the wheel you used on the air tool to clean the inner hub surface? Looks like it works well. Tia!

Perfect. I actually have those as well. My seal sleeve on the hub has 2 grooves and im wondering if this is causing my leak. I don't see any damage to the rubber seal itself.

@@kevindesjardins197 any grooves on the sealing surface will cause a leak or weep since the seal cannot conform to the damaged surface. Most times these leak because they get old and hard.

You've gone a little bit too fast right where my problem maybe is. The little spring that goes around the hub seal's rubber goes INSIDE of the hub or OUTSIDE ? I changed these 3 times now and it keeps leaking (like real bad) at first I did put the spring inside but it got off while installing the hub back in place and destroyed the rubbers from the inside while I was riding ... So I figured out I did it wrong, bought another kit and put the spring outside of the hub but it keeps leaking very badly. I grow very tired of waisting my time and money on this HELP !

Hello. So the spring will always face the fluid it is retaining. That being said their are 2 seals in these 4wd hubs. 1 for the hub shown in my how to and a seal that rides on the axle shaft that goes into the back of the strut. You may have the strut seal bad as well. When installing seals only drive them hard enough to get them to flush mount. Any harder will blow the tension spring off the seal and cause seal failure. Seal riding surfaces should be clean, smooth, and free of pitting.

I did "fix" the leak by removing the 6 moving parts and filled both hubs with grease. It's not 4x4 anymore and I don't care. When is the last time I used that function anyway (?) like never ...

Hay Tim , it’s Tom again from NJ it think we spoke once before. Any way I’m doing the seals and my berings on 2001 sportsman. Just wondering if any of the 4 berings get packed with grease ? Or do they all get lubricated from the front hub . Thanks great video and love the clean work area .

Are those seals obtainable from an auto supply store like NAPA? If so what are the sizes? Did you have any leaks from the inner strut side seal?

As far as i can recall i have not found these locally. I buy polaris brand when it comes to hub seals on these. After the repair i did not have any leaks from the inner shaft side seal.
