850 w/ ADC..stripped vavle. Thoughts?

Hello Polaris forums, I am new here :)

I have 2014 Polaris Sportsman 850 EPS w/ ADC. Last week I went to drain/fill (change) the ADC fluid and I accidently torqued the right valve too much (since there are two valves on the front differential case). Anyway, I noticed that it started to turn more as I tightened it and boom, it was stripped. So I rode it a few times and it turned out that it is leaking. My only options now are to try some of that pipe tape that is used to prevent leaks in pipes, re-drill the hole or (my most disliked option) is to buy a new case. I am somewhat lost on what to do. I have known for a while that Polaris is easy to strip out as I have ruined many drain plug heads in the past from my own ignorance. Yet, this time, I am unsure if even drilling out the hole would result in a bad case and having to take apart the entire thing to stop metal shards from getting in.
Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you

Rally 175 help

Good morning and merry Christmas!! I'm new to the forum and joined in hopes that some one out there would know where I can find a piston for the rally 175 I have been searching for months with no luck. I would even settle for a junk one I could send in to wiseco or je to have a custom one replicated.

Rjwc slip on vs full kit

So the wife bought me the rjwc split dual slip on for Christmas instead of the full kit by mistake. Still happy tho

Is it worth the extra cash to get the headers too? I'm not going crazy with mods or power.

Seeing as it's not a true dual even with the full kit, what's your opinions?

Rear axle install

Hey guys,


Got an 09 Outlander Max that i'm replacing the rear axles, got tho old ones out no problems, but the new ones won't go anywhere near going back in.


I've googled the hell out of it and some people say they should just go back in.


I've even tried to take a trailing arm off to make it easier, can't even get the silver key out to get to the snap ring and nut. I have the tool to undo the nut.


There seems to be red loctite on the splines, which i've heated with a heat gun to 400c and they still won't budge, either side..



Looking at moving the rear diff back a bit now to give it a shot.


Bloody engineers have a lot to answer for, design things with virtually no idea about working on them later.
