08 Yamaha Big Bear 400 irs rear brakes

[ozzie]

My rear brake linkage become embedded with mud and burned out the rear wet brakes in the differential. I have found the replacement parts but was wondering if anyone has removed the rear differential and can provide some tips. Yes I am sure the plates are shot.

Thanks

My best advice would be to buy a repair manual. On a newer model like that, your only option may be a factory manual, which are a bit spendy. Other than that look up your model on an online parts fische and you can see an exploded view of the rear suspension and the rear diff itself. That may help in the disassembly and more likely help when you go to put things back together. But without the manual, you will have no torque specs or sequences that are needed to properly re assemble the machine.
