cant get my axle out

[seth400]

how do you get the stock carrier and axle out of the swingarm. i pulled the whole swingarm and axle off the quad and cant get it the rest of the way apart

screw the locknut towards the break stay a lil ways pull the sirclip of then pull the locknut then theres another circlip on the break stay. the rear break caliper has to come off. take the chain and sprocket off the hub. the axle will come out the side the chain was on. the sprocket hub doesnt come off. loosen the bolts on the back of the swinger and the carrier will usually come out with the axle. good luck it can be a real b!7ch.

you dont have to take the sprocket off to take out the axle

true, if u still run the stok skid plate it makes it a lot easier if u do take it off though,.

One thing that I have learned when takeing a axle out its easier to losen up all the bolts and axle nut before you take off your brakes and your swingarm....... its nice haveing the brake so you can hold the axle still.:cool: When I take stuff apart on my bikes I always start from the outside and go in... NOT the Inside and go out.:)
