2004 TRX400EX: would appreciate suggestions on a rebuild kit or components to rebuild axle and all associated bearings for rear end of quad.
Thanks in advance!

This place is pretty quiet these days. The book of faces I hear is the happening place to be.

You need a new carrier if the bearings are bad. It isnt worth trying to swap them out unless you have a slide puller. The carriers are less than 100 bucks online. All balls is fine, id suggest the swingarm bolt and bearings as well, they are not a fun job however. The bolt often gets stuck, hope you got in impact gun.

Thanks for the reply sir! Will investigate a new carrier.
