Here’s a summary of the procedure:

Start by removing the wheel and then getting the hub assembly by disconnecting the brake caliper and the upper and lower control arms. Then, get the hub apart and push out the old bearings.

Then, replacing the wheel bearings on your Polaris Ranger is just a matter of reversing the process. John will show you how to select the correct bearing driver for both the removal of the old bearing and replacing it with a new one.
