This video was pretty helpful. I've never had the rear axle apart, but I'm getting ready to go out in the garage and try to tackle replacing the rear axle bearings. Thanks for taking the time to make a quality video. Hope this proves to be easier than wrenching on my big rig..lol!
Really good video. Makes the job a lot easier to see it done first. I like how you advocate using some heat from a torch to help loosen stubborn nuts/bolts. It works like magic. Its an old trick that I see very few people using. Now, off to repair the rear axle of my ATV.
sup bros, thanks for the vid it helped alot, in my case after loosening the carrier bearing bolts and the 2 adjusting bolts on top i skipped to removing wheels then both axle lock nuts then was able to slide axle right out while some of chain was still on the sprocket ,cause in my case the chain guard underneath had my chain pinched and i couldnt remove cuzz there was not enough slack in chain. same with putting new axle in,put the sprocket in the chain by itself, hold it up to the carrier bearing hole then slide new axle in through sprocket (already fitted in the chain)and right in the carrier bearing hole then you in business my dudes!! shout out reg mak for showin me wussup!!
i had no choice but to cut my stock axle , i had a new wider one anyways, but i bought mine used and the bearings were so shot that they wore a ring into the axle which created a huge burr and i was smashing on it with a 12 pound sledge hammer and it didnt budge...but still a great video man
I'm gonna try this out. Makes sense to me. I just need to knock the axel out a few inches then put it back so I'm hoping I can do that without removing the chain.
Couldn't afford to damage a socket. The wood was free. But yes that is another good idea if you can spare a socket. Used that before but had to buy another socket
Have done that before. Just ruins the nut and the axle. Would rather ruin a piece of wood than buy another nut and axle. Thanks for checking out the video. It was my first.
Replacing bearings for a friend on his 660. Had an idea, but always better to see it done first. What part of wa you from? I'm an hour south of Spokane.
You are trying to get the bearing carrier out? I have a video on that but I haven't edited and posted it yet but if that's what you are doing I can give you info
I did all of this but the 2nd nut wont thread onto the 2nd set of threads.. it spins freely but just doesnt catch the threads. Did someone screw this up before? what do you recommend? in this case can I cut off the nut and buy a replacement?
Sounds like it was stripped out. Careful use of an angle grinder with a cutting disc on it should help you out. Just realized how long ago you commented. My apologies for not responding sooner
Hi, helpful video. question, I got everything loose except for 1 Allen bolt on the axle. 1 came out easy and the other broke 4 Allen keys so far. I put wd40 for 4 days and heated but it won't budge. Any suggestions? or a stronger style Allen key? Thanks #islandridersatvmc
Island Riders ATV & Motocross you may have to drill it out if moving it and heating it didn't work but I would try one more time with a lot of heat and see what kind of results you get
Reg Mak - Thanks man. I thought I put a lot of heat on it today and I just broke two more hex sockets. if I drill it out, I'm probably going to screw up the axle? Damn
Island Riders ATV & Motocross try to drill just a little bit into it to get an easy out into it and back it out was one of those that's also another option. hope that helps
Island Riders ATV & Motocross and if you don't want to try to use an easy out just use a small enough drill to stay centered in the hex nut and just pay attention to how deep you doing you can do it without damaging the axle hopefully

I actually need to buy one of those. Just buy from HD or CT?
Not gonna lie.... awesome video. I like how you pointed out every step
Finally someone who knows how to make a video easy and clear information best so far please make more vids
I m glad you posted this vid...very informative...i ll be swapping out my axle soon and was wondering how to do it.

- Thanks for the video mate. Will definitely help me here in a week when I get my new axle.
well done like the 2×4 for saving threads
I’ve never in my life seen a mechanic work in just his socks till now!… lmao
Gotta stay comfy my dude! Lol!
@@1Regmak 😂
nice video. i was double checking i was heading in the right direction. mine didn't come apart near as easy, 13 year old quad. thanks
Dude please make more rappy tutorials, best on TH-cam by far

Dam good video. Bravo on doing it in a good "garage" way so kids wont beat the shit outta their stuff. Good video bro
That was straight forward dude🤙🏻 word up
Gettin ready to buy a wider adjustable axle for my 700. This helps cuz theres no way im gonna pay a shop to install.
How did it go ?
Good video bro way to be thorough
I'm gonna try this out. Makes sense to me. I just need to knock the axel out a few inches then put it back so I'm hoping I can do that without removing the chain.
You will be able to bump it out a few inches without removing the chain
Yeah it worked. Wasn't hard. Hitting wood to knock it worked good.
This video helped me so much man! Thank you!
Good video bro!!! Helped me out a bit
Just making sure I did it right, my axle is not stock but the axle nuts were loose enough to turn by hand.
Put a socket over the threads so the force is being applied behind the threads and not the end of the axle.
Couldn't afford to damage a socket. The wood was free. But yes that is another good idea if you can spare a socket. Used that before but had to buy another socket
Put the nut back on the end of the axle when you need to pound on it. Cool vid.
Have done that before. Just ruins the nut and the axle. Would rather ruin a piece of wood than buy another nut and axle. Thanks for checking out the video. It was my first.
damn good video man right to the point easy to understand very helpfull
I wish I could have had my back brake disc slide off that easy but I don't know if I can get it off still I got to figure it out
exellent! now I can stop kicking my toolbox
Thanks you. It was my first:)
Nice video . Good info
the guy in the other video had the wheel hub welded onto the Azle that's why he had to cut it
Bernhard Schmidt the guy himself didn't say that and he responded to my video I think that's an assumption you're making
no the other guy in the other video said that the hub was welded onto the axle so to get the axle out he had to cut the hub off
Bernhard Schmidt oh. my bad 😂
thanks video was very informative.
Well done bro!!!
AWESOME!!!!GREAT INFO!!!
Well done thank you helps a lot
great video...thx for the help
What size was the adjustable wrench 😭 I bought a 12” one and it wasn’t big enough 😭
Replacing bearings for a friend on his 660. Had an idea, but always better to see it done first. What part of wa you from? I'm an hour south of Spokane.
Olympia/Shelton area. I'd like to go ride over there in Eastern, WA sometime
Washington ORV I see! Also from WA, Tacoma area. Where you ride at? Also how you like the 660?
I'm in Olympia/Shelton area. Ride at Capital forest mostly. The 660 was a friend's that I was repairing. I have a couple YFZ's tho
Thanks very helpful..
hey thanks looks very ease thanks for the video
What are you doing when the bearing case don’t want go out? 😅
You are trying to get the bearing carrier out? I have a video on that but I haven't edited and posted it yet but if that's what you are doing I can give you info
I succeeded thanks
good video man..
Awesome job

great vid, thanks g
What does removing it do? I'm thinking on removing it on my raptor 700r race special edition and I want to do it if it makes my faster
zayed al suwaidi Lol you can't ride without an axle. You'd just take it off to replace the carrier bearings or the axle itself.
Where you planning on putting your tires bud?
one in my ass cheek and the others will be on the 2 will be in the front m8.
