P700 SuperATV Rhino axle install

[Tflynn]

I noticed yesterday one of my CV boots ripped.

So seemed like a good time to install my Rhino axles that have been sitting on a shelf for months! These things are BEEFY! Can't imagine ever breaking one. Check out the size difference-

The stockers look like little twigs next to the Rhinos.

Anyway, changing an axle is easy. First remove the wheel and take the kotter pin out of the axle nut.

Then remove the axle nut

Once the nut is off (by the way, it's TIGHT!!!) the hub should slip off easily.

Now all you have is the knuckle and the axle. I removed the knuckle completely to clean out some mud and debris but all you really need to do is remove the top a-arm bolt and loosen the bottom one and the knuckle swings down out of the way like this-

Now with a sharp tug, the axle will pop out.

That completes the disassembly. Reassembly is just the opposite. I put some grease on the splines of the new axle before popping it back into the differential.

So pop it back in, swing up the knuckle and tighten both bolts, slip the hub back on, and install the axle nut. Oh yeah, make sure you use a new kotter pin!

Put your wheel back on and you're done! Now time to go do burn outs on concrete or something! See what these babies can do!

Nice write up.
Hope you Don't break anything with those new axels!
They are beefy looking for sure.

great write up @Tflynn, I can't believe how wimpy the honda axles are compared to the rhinos

Hi Tflynn, Thank you for taking the mystery out something so intimidating to me.

I do have a question. Is it an allusion or is the Rhino axle longer than the Honda?

I'm glad you found it useful!

The axles are the same length but looking at the photo I definitely see what you're seeing. I think it must be the angle I was holding my phone or something that's making the Rhino look so much longer.

Im curious on Maximum Angularity, compared to stockers ?

 

[Tflynn]

They are said to have higher articulation angles than stock, but I can't really say by how much.

They have a 1 year warranty too

Wow those are a lot bigger! I'll have to put these on my "what my wife doesn't want me" to get list. LOL

Wonder if rhino would build some a lil longer I could redo my a arms for longer ones to make 6 inch lift or maybe touch bigger if had longer axels

So now where is the weak point in the drive train with the super atv axles?

I bet someone will find that out soon enough one thing about playing when u beef something up to stop the breaking in one spot ul move it to the next weakest link

 

[motorman18]

Thats the one thing i love about the 700 it's strong enough to make it to the other side but weak enough to not break everything all to pieces and need a trailer to get out of the woods like some competitors sxs not saying no brand names

I like this idea..

And in sxs that's why the axles are skinny. They break before the diff or the trans.

feel like the 700 would stall the motor before it broke the diff or trans haha!
