Hi, Ok on my 06 650 H1 the Boots are all dry rotting where the clamp goes, Id like to replace it so if you could please help with parts selection and where to get, I have searched the boards but end up confused.
Thanks alot
P.S I think these are the artic cat numbers but they are $60.00 Each, I need to do all 8, Are they all the same on all the axles?

You should most likely be able to go by one of the local ATV repair shops (not the dealer) and they can sell you boot kits there that contain a new boot with grease and bands... just depends on your location as to how much it'd cost, but around here a boot kit goes for around $25 per cv joint. As far as which ones to replace....if it looks like its gonna come apart, might as well go ahead and change it out while you've got everything apart the first time.

go to napa or orileys or autozone, get boots for a GEO Metro. They are the exact same size and WAAAAYYYY cheaper.

Do I have to drain the gear oil? I just changed it with Amsoil.
greenkitty72012-02-21 08:36:48 +0000 #7
no if you just jack it up on one side, the oil will run over to the other side, then you can pull the axle without draining the oil.
