about 2 mounths ago i was riding and the rhino it started feeling like the wet
clutch was slipping or it had a really high stall spring . so then i decided ill
put a new wet clutch a jbs sheave belt one way bearing ...... i got all this
back together just yesturday (2 mounths) since the last ride. i started the
bike, started no prob. i went to ride down the drive and it still had the same
really high stall spring feelig so i turned around so go back and it wouldnt
pull itself. it would rock about 1/4 turn foward then not enogh power same in
reverse. i tired 4wd and it still would pull itself . the front tires still roll
free. i jack up the ass end to turn the wheels by hand and i cant turn them if i
rock it back and forth pretty hard ill get it to finally break loose for about
1/2 turn ?????? HELP PLEASE

If it was in the rear end it would just pull/bogg the engine down right?

i run maxima oil it it 10-30 . the engine is not bogging all the way down it will still rev it just wont move . and like i said i jacked the rear end up and i cant move the tires.

Is the Maxima oil you are using JASO-MA (wet clutch compliant)?

it has a brand new wet clutch from james. and yes the maxima is jaso-ma app.
i check the brakes and still no go. so what should or how should i go about messing with the rear end.

so you sure the brakes are free? then its diff pull axles then brake caliber then undo mount bolts an pull the diff , I would check the drive shaft after you got diff loss see if it turns , thought how did you check the brakes were ok? I would make sure the brakes are good before pulling the diff pretty good job on the ring &pinon set-up not mention the cost, good luck

UPDATE: yesturday i pull the brake caliper off just to make sure. so that wasnt the problem . Today i pulled the two diff bolts out slid the diff back,pulled the drive shaft out from the diff side , tires still did not spend . and yes in neutral the drice shaft would spend and in gear it would not. so the proble is in the rear diff . now tomorrow i will pull the diff out and fix that i guess. ill keep updating to the next step and what has gone wrong. im hoping a froze bearing.
