This is my first time posting so I hope I’m in the right place.

I blew the front left drive shaft in my 2004 Traxter Max. I can pull the shaft completely off the outside (tire) end and can see the (large) spline. I called my local BRP dealer and I’m looking at over $600 for a new shaft. Ebay has the half shaft for under $300. I also saw a rebuild kit for around $60. I’m hoping to save money and do it myself but the service guy said you can’t rebuild the unit and need to buy new (I know he’s looking for a quick buck but I’m looking for the truth).

Does anyone have any experience with replacing the front drive shaft and/or service manuals/tips for removing and replacing the unit?
