• Genuine Polaris C65 large axle for the rear wheel position shown in matching 180 and 280 diagrams.

• Supports the matching rear wheel assembly while allowing bearings and washers to be checked separately.

Quick Product Summary

The Polaris C65 OEM rear wheel axle is the large axle listed for the rear wheel on matching Polaris 180 and 280 pressure-side cleaners. Choose it when inspection identifies damage or wear at that axle position. It is a service part for the wheel assembly, so confirm both C65 and the rear-wheel location in your cleaner’s diagram before ordering.

Best For

Pool owners and service technicians repairing a damaged rear wheel axle on a matching Polaris 180 or 280. It is most useful when the axle itself has been identified as the problem and the surrounding wheel, bearings and attachment points have also been inspected.

Why This Matters

• The 180 and 280 diagrams distinguish the C65 rear axle from other axle positions; choosing by appearance alone can lead to the wrong part.
• A wheel problem may involve the axle, bearings, washer or mounting hardware. Inspecting these together helps identify the actual repair.
• Replacing the identified damaged component avoids treating a wheel complaint as a reason to replace the complete cleaner.

Common Signs You Need This / Use This When

• Visible damage to the rear axle identified as C65.
• Excess movement traced to the axle or its attachment rather than only to a bearing.
• A rear wheel repair that calls for C65 in the exact cleaner diagram.

Product Specifications

Compatibility / Fitment Notes

Match C65 and the rear-wheel position in the diagram for your exact cleaner configuration. Do not substitute it for C66 or assume every axle on a Polaris cleaner is the same. Special configurations, including TankTrax wheel arrangements, should be checked against their own diagrams. Inspect the bearing seats and mounting area before deciding which pieces need replacement.

Installation / Use Notes

Turn off the equipment operating the cleaner and remove the cleaner from the water before wheel service. Follow the model-specific service instructions for removing and refitting the rear axle. Inspect the wheel, washers and bearings, then confirm correct reassembly and free wheel movement before returning the cleaner to service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cleaner diagrams list the Polaris C65 rear axle?

Polaris 180 and 280 diagrams list C65 for the rear wheel position. Check the exact model and wheel configuration before ordering.

Can C65 replace every axle on a Polaris 280?

No. The diagram identifies C65 as the rear wheel axle and lists different references for other axle positions. Match the location as well as the part number.

Will a new axle fix every wobbling wheel?

No. Bearings, washers, the wheel and its mounting points can also cause excess movement. Inspect those parts before selecting the repair.

Should I inspect the wheel bearings at the same time?

Yes. Check the matching bearings and washers for damage or wear while the wheel assembly is accessible. Select each replacement by its own part reference.

Is this a genuine Polaris replacement part?

C65 is an OEM Polaris rear wheel axle. Confirm that this exact reference is listed for the axle position being repaired.
