Bearing Replacement - Polaris 2014 RZR XP 1000 Service Manual

10. Remove the bearing carrier from the rear drive shaft
and trailing arm.
11. Rotate bearing by hand and check for smooth
rotation. Visually inspect bearing for moisture, dirt, or
corrosion.
NOTE: Due to extremely close tolerances and
minimal wear, the bearings must be inspected
visually, and by feel. While rotating bearings by
hand, inspect for rough spots, discoloration, or
corrosion. The bearings should turn smoothly
and quietly, with no detectable up and down
movement and minimal movement sideways
between inner and outer race.
12. Replace bearing if moisture, dirt, corrosion, or
roughness is evident.
