axle spline help

[250xman]

i went riding on a brand new dura blue eliminator axle and about 7 hours into the 1st ride the left side hub and splines on the axle stripped out. i took it to a metal shop here in dallas but they couldnt fix it. does anyone know where i could get it fixed around here. and how much would it cost. it took me forever to save up the money fo rthis SOB and i cant aford to buy another one. any input is greatly appriciated.

did the splines strip off the axle, the hub, or both..? was everything tight..?

I think I'd be giving durablue a call ..!

yea everything was tighter than a 13 year old. they both striped out and i called durablue and they said to send it in and i would have to give them like 100 bucks and they would send me a new alxe.

if durablue told me that i'd drive to their office and throw that F***** threw their front window..it's bull...they should cover it..

Amen LRD! 250xmen if you had everything tight they need to stand behind their product. Let them know that you represent an ENTIRE MESSAGE BOARD of Honda riders and it would be in their best interest.

Hey, if anyone needs me to help speak out against Durablue, or sign a letter against durablue I WILL!!!! When I broke my Durablue axle, it was **** trying to get them to replace it, then when they did 3 MONTHS later, i knew that I was dealing with a bad company. I would just assume take a beating, then deal with DURABLUE ever again.
........................................My two pennies!!!
I would be glad to do anything to help, next time buy a lonestar.

give us your name. and durablues phone number. we will get every member of this forum to call dura blue and ***** at the,. we can't let a fellow rider get dicked like this.

When I bent my durablue it was a piece of cake to get replaced,,no hassle or anything..

I"m still tryin to figure out how the splines got stripped,,something had to be loose.:confused:

I don't think your gonna have an easy time getting it replaced,,bending or breaking one is one thing,,but stripping out splines,,I garauntee their gonna say it was user error or installed improperly. Hopefully they'll just replace it...good luck either way...

anyone know of a good way to bend an axle and make it look like i did it on a BIG jump?!?!?!?;)

[Dave400ex]

Get a Person that has a Pipe Bender to do it.

[250xman]

i have one but it would leave marks on the axle. anyone else have an idea?

serously...give us your name and durablues number..by 3 o'clock tomorrw durabreak will be sending you a new one.

ok get a chain and find a big tree, hook the chain on one side of the axle then around the tree and to the other side of the axle, then get another chain and hook it up to a truck and put it in 4 lo and give it a lil tug, make sure somoene is watching, you dont want to bend it so far that they wont garauntee it because they suspect foul play......

if yo bend it on purpose thats the stupidest thing you can do. i guarentee if 10 to 15 of us call them and threaten to boycott them you'll have an new axle quick..PLEASE DON'T BE DUMB AND BEND IT OR MESS IT UP ON PURPOSE!

[Dave400ex]

I think the Calling Idea would Work. Durablue doesn`t want 15 Guys mad at them.

[250xman]

i just got off the phone with elana and she denies ever talking to a russ tacket. i told her my internet forum would boycott their products and she told me all you have to do is send it back and they'll fix it so i think you need to call them back russ

[RoostinOna400ex]

I think its kinda funny...... how you going to boycott a product noone uses anyways!!:devil

I just put on a durebend axle and hubs last week, I wish I had chosen Lonestar, I'm curious to see how it works out. Good Luck.

[RoostinOna400ex]

Wish you the best and hope you dont have the same problems everyone else is having.

[Mitch400EX]

Durablue is garbage, I can't believe they're still in business!
