The Polaris

Andy owns a Polaris 600 Sportsman ATV similar to that in the image below...

Sorry about that Andy, I couldn't resist myself.

Andy's machine is a REAL Polaris 600 Sportsman ATV. On a trip to Redbird on Saturday, 1st October 2005 Andy took this machine with him but the front right wheel kept locking up. On Tuesday, 4th October he and I got round to inspecting it. The CV drive boot had ripped which had let in dirt and water and we also found the front differential was leaking so we decided to take that out too.

Getting the diff out was a lot harder than it looked, hence the heavy hammers and crowbars.
