I’ve tried to research how to do this but can’t find specifics answers for the G2 frame. Anyway I have a 2013 Renegade 1000 with a torn rear outer boot. I’ve torn the machine down and separated the axle from the diff, there’s just not enough room to get the axel out to work on it. Most of the posts I’ve found are for a G1 frame that say to drop the rear diff to remove the axle. I can’t do this because it hits the diff guard welded below it. Second method involves removing the trailing arm, which is what I’m thinking I have to do. But from what I’ve read that involves replacing 100 dollars worth of bearings/seals. So my question is there any other way? If I do remove the trailing arm do I really need to replace the bearings and seals at 100 bucks a pop? Seems crazy to do all this work and pay 100 bucks on replacement bearings just to replace a boot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
