This fix is not approved by Polaris and there is no guaranty that this will work for you. All I can say is it worked for us.
This video is the first I’ve ever made and it’s a little rough and no sound(to much background noise) and it’s 105 here today and my laptop started crashing
This fix was Performed on a 2015 xp41k with diff. model 1333344 stamped on top of case.
Instruction’s to do diff. shim removal.
Remove right front tire (optional)
1) put front of car on jack stands
2) drain front diff. fluid (if not put rag under it because some oil will come out)
3) turn drive shaft so pin is at 12 & 6 o’clock position
4) pound pin out 3/4 of the way from hole in bottom of car( I used a drift and 2lb sledge)
5) once pin is 3/4 out turn shaft to 3 & 6 o’clock position and remove rest of the way
6) slide drive shaft off pinion shaft
7) drill 3/32 hole in seal ( I did it on passenger side)
8) insert 3" drywall screw in hole you just drilled (about 3/8 of inch just enough to grab)
9) use pry bar to remove seal ( I used the hole in middle of pry bar)
10) use 90 degree snap ring pliers to remove outer clip inside diff( you have to use good pliers Harbor freight don’t work I used lang #3494)
11) slide shaft and bearing out of hole (it takes some wiggling)
12) remove small clip from shaft and bearing
13) press shaft out of bearing ( if you don’t have a press take to local mech. and get them to do it)
14) remove shim and press bearing back on shaft
15) insert shim on shaft and reinstall small clip on shaft
16) reinsert bearing and shaft into diff.
17) reinstall new seal in diff. ( i used a little oil around mine to slide on easier)
18) slide drive shaft back on pinion shaft( I used anti sieze in hole to make it easier next time)
19) insert bolt and in drift pin hole( grade 8 5/16 24 2" length with lock nut it’s easier)
20) fill diff with required oil
21) lower off jack stands and take it for test drive
Parts Required:
30x72x8 mm seal with double lip (you can find them on ebay or you local bearing guy 5 to 11 $)
grade 8 bolt 5/16 24 2" in length with lock nut (if you don’t want to pound pin back in)
If you look on thread every one has posted a lot of pics to do this should take about 2 hrs if everything goes well some longer some shorter depends on mech. ability.
all worked I performed on passenger side of car with everything attached.

So I still have 5 hours until my first service (according to the owners manual) and I have been out of town for almost a month and so I pulled my machine out to clean it (which I did) I checked the oil (good), and then decided to just check the air filter on a whim, and then I noticed there was no air filter… the inside of the airbox was dusty to say the least. I took a photo of it, and then cleaned it out and rolled it back into the garage. I have not been in sand, just on dirt trails, but some parts were very fine dust.
So… I am obviously going to talk with the dealer tomorrow morning, but I can already see where that might go, and then I will escalate it with Polaris. I would be concerned after a year or so if any damage occurred from no air filter from factory or dealer. Very, very frustrated right now.
My question, has anyone had this issue? and if it were you, what would you be doing?
Anyone have an engine oil leak from the hole in the skid plate for access for the drain plug. I changed the oil and filter. No leaks then went on a few rides and the leaks started. I’ll be pulling the skid plate to isolate the leak just wondering if theirs a common known issue. Thanks guys

Super excited right now. I finally decided to pull the trigger on some suspension! I ordered the HCR ELITE long travel kit. I’ve been looking at all different kinds and I decided if I was going to do suspension I was going to do it right. Now I have the 3 week wait time.
On a side note, does anyone need some stock rzr 1000 suspension? I’m going to be selling all of my stock stuff. 349 miles on it.
I am loving the new 4 seater. Suspension is awesome and the power is great for a stock machine. My brother in law came along in his own xp4 1k and my parents in their big Kawasaki. We rode up to Horseshoe campground east of Big Bear. Then back down the mountain by a microwave tower. The roof was a huge plus, it’s nice being out of the direct sunlight! I’ve been wanting a rzr for a few years now, I’m sure glad I waited for this one! Take care, Mike
