blaster axle/swingarm bearings

[ny300exrider]

hey my freind has a 99 blaster and is in desperate need of rear end bearings. his whole axle moves and just lately its been making a disgusting sound.im pretty sure they are all smashed from riding with them loose and stuff. im not very familiar with yamahas so what bearings does he need to buy and whats an estimate price on getting a full set of rear end bearings. also is there a link that can tell me the steps on installing them so we dont have to take it to a dealer. is it a hard job? his quad is in the paper for sale so we want to fix it before he has a buyer. and of course hes getting a 400ex after the blasterd is sold. thanks a ton and i know its a honda site but you guys are intelligent and i could probly get a better response here than bluetraxx.

hi eric,
here's where you can get those bearings:
RockyMountainATV - Blaster Axle Bearings (http://www.rockymountainatv.com/wc.dll?wwrmatv~type_name_m~0005430664~BEAR~BEARING ~Rear+Axle+Bearing~~~YAMAHA~BLASTER+200~~1999~)

Doing the job isn't so hard, so you won't have to take it to a dealer, but if he has been riding with those bad bearings and the blaster is making a disgusting sound as you describe it, he may have scratched and f***ed up his carrier. I hope not, because this has happened to me he'd have to replace it.

Good idea to get a 400 isn't it? :devil:

P.S.: I'm looking for a pic that I think will guide you through the process ;)

I think it's simple enough to understand ..
I hope I've been useful.
