Broken Cv joint
Well I shattered my outboard cv joint on my foreman this weekend. Not to worried as it still runs and drives. Problem is sometimes the pieces bind up and make it hard to turn. Question...until I can get either $700 together for new gorilla axles or get my bike to honda and warantee the stock out, can I just take out the cv axle and still ride? what about a rebuild kit for the outer cv joint? any help is appreciated.

iv seen people take out the axle and just use the inboard joint so no dirt gets in the diff but id be worried about the bearings in the knuckle

Oops ^ I'm pretty sure u shouldn't just remove it and keep riding. Its pretty easy to replace and not to expensive eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

If it like a 4wd truck if you remove the outter cv part and drive it ,it is possible that the hub bearing will come apart. The outter axle shaft nut holds the bearing together.At least that is the way a 4wd chevy outter hub bearing works.But i know this is a atv not a truck.

i wouldn't drive with the axle removed. gonna get dirt in your diff and hub. i wouldn't get gorilla axles either. you simply don't need them, those zillas aren't heavy enough and don't bite hard enough to justify gorillas. you need to practice throttle control. if you decide to upgrade your axles, check out turner axles. they're supposed to be good.

I wouldn't waste my money on Gorilla's, or Turners, or any aftermarket HD axle. Like lop3r1 said, you really don't need them. I barely need them for my 800R running 29.5's....I've only ever broke axles after tearing boots and getting contaminants in the CV, and a HD axle will do the same thing.
