How do remove a 2018 Honda rancher cage on the axle after I got the ball bearing and all that off I have been stuck on this for 2 hours

Front axle or rear axle? IRS or SRA? What is the model number/letters of your Rancher?

This attachment was taken from a 2014 service manual, but your 2018 disassembly should be similar.

You can find that manual here:

yea But the question is there a ring inside that cage I have pull for it to come off or do I just pull the whole cage off with a three prong puller thanks tho I will look these down later

I don't have any 420s , pretty sure they are all made the same , on my 450s an 300s only one side has a retainer ring , so it only comes apart on one side ----- I don't know why you are taking it a apart , maybe change a boot , clean it out and regrease , but any ways , I have found it easier and better to just get a new axle , they are cheap enough now days , I have been using Sixity axles , they come in two qualities , I have been buying the better ones , have never broke one yet and have about 3 years on the first 450 axles I bought , and I ride a lot in nasty stuff

Not sure I am following what you are trying to do but I think you are asking about taking the cv joint apart?
Most of them do have a snap ring inside the cup that you have to take out then the cup will slide off. But I have seen a couple of 420 axles that there is a ring staked in place and no way to get them apart. I haven't worked on a 2018 so not sure what you have. But the one axle I came across that had the staked in ring in it that I couldn't get apart was on a 2011 with IRS

How do I get this off

guessing that is the outer end ?, you don't !!!. they do not come apart like the inner joint does.

 

[shadetree]

and that is called the cv joint by the way .

you have to if want to put an outer boot on

 

[shadetree]

you have to if want to put an outer boot on

noooooooo..you do not !. the outer end does not come apart. the inner joint does. soooooooooo..you break the axle down starting from the inner joint, once thats apart, you remove the outer boot bands, remove the bad boot by sliding it off towards the inner joint end. once its off, you reverse the process, slide new boot on from the inner end, over the cv joint on the outer end, bands, then install small bands on the inner boot, slide boot on, assemble inner joint, install inner bands..walla !.

Can you slide the star towards the inside of the shaft to expose a c-clip?
