Thats very close but not quite the same type of band. I'm not sure the tool would work.

 

If you are going to use the OEM bands a large needle nose pliers and a flat blade screwdriver will work. Use the pliers to squeeze the band tight and the screwdriver to lock the band into the notch. I've tried several auto style CV tools and they are less than ideal for the OEM bands.

 

I tried to use pliers one time ended up damaging the CV band. My suggestion would be to get the correct tool or have the dealer install the band for you. Polaris doesn't just sell the band either you have to buy the whole CV boot kit

Use a hose clamp

 

Have the dealer install it? You made a funny, ? BTW guess what the dealer technician will use? Pliers

That style CV band is EASY to do with pliers

You can't use a hose clamp in place of a CV band.

Yes you can I have done it car Cv boots and so have alot of other ppl

 

I mean yea it ain't hard to just use a cv boot clamp either and that is the better way but a hose clamp will work

 

I could probaly bet money that not everything in your rzr is polaris manufactured so you must be just as dumb as me

 

Use needle nose or dikes to squeeze the band, it will release. Once it is released you'll see the barbs that lock the band together. A neat, simple design that is reusable.

 

Ok, after reading here and watching a YouTube video I found out that yes the factory clamps can be removed easily with a pair of needle nose pliers. The good news is that they are 100% reusable if you dont damage them. So I'm going to have a couple of spares now as I got them off without incident. I went ahead and ordered the pliers though as they help to ensure you dont damage and from what I can tell are going to be just about mandatory to put the bands back on.


As mentioned there are numerous types of band clamps on all sorts of cv joints. For OUR machines it uses what's called a CV boot clamp "earless" type. The tool you need has an end on it that looks like this and cost about $16. A cheap investment to have the proper tool.

 

I have that CV band tool and it bends/tears the ears up.

 

This is what I use and has always worked perfect with no slipping. I love the stock cv bands because this tool makes cake out of them. And it doesn’t tear up the cv bands so you can use them over and over if you need to

 

Looks good, where did you find that one?

 

I’ve had it for years. It came from tools my dad had when he ran a garage in Oliver Springs many years ago. I just know it does damn well on Polaris CV bands.

 

Needle nose and flathead screw drive definitely the wrong way.

 

It isn't rocket science. Damn near use your fingernails if ya had to.

 

Idk how it is poor advice when you can put a hose clamp on a cv boot on a car and it works fine. I have ran them on derby cars and the cv boot was tore but where the clamp was it never moved and it was bent, twisted and what not and the shaft was clear out of the cup but the clamp was still holding. Yes you should use a cv band clamp there is nothing wrong with that but if somebody wanted a hose clamp would work fine but maybe it's just me I'm from wv idk any better. I'm not trying to get in any pissin matches on here that is not why I joined I take advice just as much as I give and really appreciate it so RZR JOE.... why are we swinging at each other?

 

so RZR JOE.... why are we swinging at each other?

Cause he's a grumpy ol goat! ?

 

It's all good....

 

I wouldn't use a hose clamp if for any other reason that it looks like sh*t and that you don't give af.

 

I'm sure the axle boot really cares

 

Not to beat a dead horse, but there’s a really good reason to not use a hose clamp. It physically won’t fit due to tight clearances, at least on 7 of the 8 cv cup locations. In an emergency, get back to camp situation, those are the ones you kind of need to stay on.

 

 

Big zip tie, the police substitute for hand cuffs, they work like hose clamps.

 

I’ll add safety wire to the list of cv boot options.

 

Hose clamps, zip ties, & safety wire.

 

Everyone knows those fixes don't work if you don't have any duct tape to hold them in place.

 

Let’s not forget Duct tape.

 

I was going to suggest but..... ? ?

 

like a beach whistle , they just wash up .
