P1000 Torn Front Axle Boot

[nitzo]

After a long weekend of riding, I noticed I have a hole in one of my front boots. I'm not sure what happened to it. Anyway, what are ya'll doing when this happens? Replacing the boot? New Rhino axles? I would just as soon replace the boot and be done with it.

How easy is replacing one?

Thanks

I replaced one of my stock ones with an all balls replacement boot. It was messy but much cheaper than replacing the axel. As for difficulty I think it's more work to remove the shaft than replace the boot itself. I have since replaced the stock axles with the rhino shafts because I am running the satv forward arms without steering stops.

It is cheaper to replace the the boot but rhino axles are real strong

They also articulate farther than a stock shaft.

The boots aren't any stronger though.

I think I saw someone used something called shoe goo to repair a boot as a temp fix and it was holding so well he still had it on there months later. Might be worth a quick forum search.

Thanks, I went ahead and got them from Rocky Mountain ATV, same price. I got the tools also, I figure I'll need them again at some time.
