Got a small leak on the front diff where the prop shaft goes in. I have changed the one on the 500 and now I need one for the XP. I have read here where people have done them but no one has posted a seal number. I do not want to buy the kit for 40 something dollars when all I need is a 5 dollar seal. Does anybody have a seal number for the front diff on an 09 550 XP.

I'll dig in my stuff. Might still have a partial kit with one in it.

The front seal is metric. It is a 25X32X7 and you can get it at a bearing/seal supplier. The ones where I live don't keep in in stock but they can get it in 2-3 days. They range anywhere from 6 to 8 bucks and that is much cheaper than the polaris kit.

I don't have any. Thanks for the info!

Have you changed one? On my 500X2 I just pulled the cover off the diff by removing the 3 bolts then put the new seal in and it was done. With the ADC in the diff of the XP and the wire going through the cover I am thinking of just getting a pick and pulling the old seal out and putting the new one in without pulling the cover. How have people been doing it?

Haven't had to do one on an xp yet. I bet you could do it that way. Make sure to grease the inside lip before you put it in.

Doesn't the pinion/plate/seal all come out by removing three or four screws?

On my 500X2 all you have to do is take the 3 bolts off and the plate does come out with the O Ring and seal. It is very easy to do because it doesn't have ADC.
On my XP I see a wire running in there and I guess i am a little nervous about what all will come out with the plate since it has ADC. I would say nothing maybe but if I could get the seal out with a pick and slide the new one in I wouldn't have to take it apart.
