How to Put an EPI CV Boot on a 2007 Rhino 660

The Rhino 660 is an all-terrain vehicle manufactured by Yamaha. This two-man ATV features a liquid-cooled 660 cc, five-valve, four-stroke engine. Constant velocity, or CV, joints are used on the Rhino to support the independent rear suspension. The CV joint is protected by a boot, which keeps dirt and other contaminants out. The EPI CV boot is a boot kit manufactured for ATVs. Installation of a new boot should take around two hours.

Instructions

1

Jack up the ATV and set jack stands in place. Lower the Rhino onto the jack stands.

2

Loosen the lugs with a lug wrench and remove the wheel the CV boot will be replaced on.

3

Remove the axle center nut with a wrench and remove the axle. Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver under the outer cup and gently tap it off with a rubber mallet.

4

Loosen the clamp on the old boot and slide the old boot off. Slip the new boot over the CV joint and tighten its clamp with a screwdriver.

5

Replace the outer cup by tapping it into place with the mallet. Hold the axle in place and fasten it down with the axle nut.

6

Replace the ATV tire and lug nuts. Jack the Rhino up, pull out the jack stands and lower the Rhino to the ground.
