I'm trying to grease the front wheel bearings on my 2017 Polaris Ranger XP 900 EPS but I don't have a socket big enough for the axle nut. Was planning on using my impact wrench to get it off. Does anyone know the exact size of that nut? Want to make sure I pick up the right one before I tear into it again. Thanks for any help!
 
@XP.Powered66 yeah, it's usually a 30mm socket for the front axle nut on the 2017 XP 900 EPS.
Before you put everything back together, make sure you check your service manual for the exact torque specification.
An impact wrench is great for getting it off, but you'll want to use a torque wrench to tighten it to spec to prevent bearing issues down the road

yep, true! Over tightening that axle nut can crush the bearing and cause it to fail in as little as a few miles, which is a major headache and an expensive mistake
