Turner75 1 Posted August 31, 2022 Hello all. Just joined here and am totally new to this stuff. Thought I would try asking on one of these forums to maybe get some help. So I have a 2017 rubicon and last weekend lost 4wd while out at our hunting cabin. Got home with the bike and found splines gone on the front driveshaft where the shaft goes into the coupler (engine side). Anyway, seems the front propeller shaft assembly (part # 40400-HR6-A61) is on back order and no date when I can expect one. Just wondering if anyone knows where I could find one?

jeepwm69 7,223 Posted August 31, 2022 Welcome aboard. Try Powersportsnation or ebay. Most Honda dealers don't actually stock parts, they order after you order, so if it's backordered from Honda, gonna be hard to find one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toodeep 1,733 Posted August 31, 2022 Welcome to the forum. With Honda there is no ETA on coming off of back order and usually that means your in for a good wait time. If it was my machine and I needed it, I would weld it up carefully and get the part when available. Both parts are shot so besides having to cut it to remove it your not out anything.

Turner75 1 Posted September 1, 2022 @toodeep thanks, my thoughts exactly. Was just hoping to find new part sooner. I actually welded it up last night and just put it back together tonight, seems alright🤞 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do stand behind what they sell. Dang pricey part! https://www.powersportsnation.com/honda-foreman-450-fe-02-front-drive-shaft-40400-hn0-670-38668.html Didn't realize how expensive those things were for a 450. I'm going to put a little extra grease in my buddy's when I put it back together today, make sure his stays in good shape! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
