Pinion nut came loose and well... Pinion got pushed outside of the diff. Anybody have leads on a new diff?

That sucks

Hear of this a-lot with 800 RZR

have heard Jason at Hawk has-em

other than that may-be E-Bay

Have heard even if you get new one have to take off pinion nut and tork to 250-300 pound and use 277 locktit

Mine has all steel nut newer ones have nylon lock-nut when it gets hot, nylon melts and nut spins off and ruins rear-end

Thats why newer ones need to be taken apart and put back=together with locktight #277

On the rzr forum there is a ton of threads, posts that have this same problem

If I would have researched all the problems Polaris has with there shit I never would have bought one

Glad I did not research- em, cause the flip side of the coin is all the awesome, great, kind, cool, nice folks

I have meant though the years>>> never would have happen

The pros outweighed the cons by a way-long shot

Here is a pinion Linky>>> http://www.rzrforums.net/rzr-s-specific-discussion/159809-rear-differential-failure-pinion-shaft-nut.html
