The axle and axle bearings on your machine can really take a beating, especially on sport ATV's that have a lot of power and are being pushed to their limits. Replacing your axle and axle bearings is a great way to keep up on the maintenance of your machine and ensure that everything is operating smoothly to prevent more serious damage in the future. So in this video we show the proper steps to replacing the axle and axle bearings on a 1999 Honda TRX 400EX, but the steps shown here will be very similar to most sport ATV's.

since i bought a banshee, im watching those videos and i want to say that your videos are just really clear and detailled! thanks to you and your team❤️
banshees are badass how’s it treating you?
Just want to say thanks for the great video. Id like to make a recommendation to save anyone with an old machine some time and money. When you're removing the brake disc flange there's a good possibility its going to be to rusted to be tapped off the way it's showed on the video. What worked for me was sliding a large washer over the splines where the wheel hub connects to the axle, then putting a 2 inch pipe over the axle. And hitting that with a mallet. That way there's no stress on the brake, or brake hub. And doing this will also bring the axle out of the bearing carrier Which is a double win. I wish I'd known this before hand, it would have saved me from buying a 180 dollar OEM disc brake flange. Hope I helped someone
Thank u
what an awesome video. The left hand threaded sleeve was driving me "nuts"
I've used air and electric impacts to try to remove the castle nut and it will not budge
Now need a video up upgrading the suspension and front a-arms, tie rods, and steering stem. Then setting the toe in.
Really good video. Unfortunately im nuts and have to do these bearings at least once a year...
Not to hate, but why didn’t you guys show how to remove the old bearings out of the carrier? It’s the only reason I came to this video, figured the 16 minute video would have the step I needed.
They do at 7 min into the video
@@ronjeremy1796 lol, yup
There’s so much play in my axel on my 1980 Honda ATC 185 I think Thanos snapped his fingers and turned my wheel bearings into dust!! 😅
Can’t get my brake on far enough without it pushing my axle out causing the sprocket to not be on enough making my chain not run straight
I can’t get my sprocket carrier off of my old axle. I took the snap ring off and it won’t slide off. How do I do it?
How can I get the carrier out without a sliding hammer?
Take the middle bolts out on the out side then simply take it off
My chain wont tigten . Should i replace the carrier bearing to fix ?
if your old one had no greese and jus buncha rust / worn out bearings is it normal for new super greesed carrier and new bearings to be actually rather stiff when spinning the axle as if a brake was dragging, (without one attached)?
What Snap ring Pliers did you use ? I bought a set but they won't open it far enough!!! :( Thanks
Needle nose pliers 🤣
@@Slinkslinkslink Yeah! I that's what I used....but you need a 3rd Hand! Had to get my neighbour to lend a hand to pry & push the clip once I had it spread far enough with the needle nose pliers. :D
Just ordered a new carrier bearing and the distance collar is loose... should it be like this? The carrier bearing was also damaged in shipping pretty bad
Link to the tool used to push the bearings in ?
First link in description
Would a new bearing carrier come with dust seals or no?
great video but i have some issues. The components, especially the axle itself never come apart that easily. The axle is usually stuck in the carrier due to corrosion. Or the bearings are so bad that the ball bearings are gone, the inner race is stuck on the axle and the outer race stuck in the housing. What would be helpful to people not highly skilled in repair, is how to handle those situations as they are more common than not.
Heat
Don't let it get to that point and you won't have to face those issues. Preventative maintenance is key.
Heat and lube
Mine comes right apart
How common ks it for a high end durable eliminator axle wear out before it actually rust. In the spots the bettings ride. There seems to be alot of play on the area of the center carrier berring inner diameter and the axle ..should there be any play at all kr should be tight
What’s the castle nut size and socket you used to get it off?? Wondering if it’s the same as ltz400, please help
Put everything together with new parts and axle feels worse then before, rebuilt my bearing carrier and got a new tusk axle followed all the steps I run a small shop working on bikes and sport quads, not sure what I did wrong time to tear it apart again 😡
Can I get a part number for the axle and bearings. I called Rocky Mountain ATV and they are telling me they don't sell these parts
What are those tires ? I have always run Maxxis All-Trak(22") but they are out of production
What would you do if you don't have a torque wrench to tighten it
Tight is tight
Buy a torque wrench
These are extremely similar to 86/87 200x. I wonder if any of these parts work on the 200x like that threaded sleeve
How do you put on 86 trx rear sprocket hub ??
Humm a new host!
Do some LT-Z 400 videos as a break in procedure
Is this the same on a 1991 trx250x
what snap ring plier are u using

What’s the website called where you can get new parts for this

Can we u go kart back axle for home made atv
Great video. Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting this out. So incredibly helpful. Cheers.
Thanks. Glad it was helpful!
I assume all ATVs are pretty much the same except torque specs?
Question for you.....my quad goes into all of the gears. Semi-Auto, The Chain spins with the sprocket, but it won’t rotate the axles. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!
U need a sproket
Clutch is out
What size collet for the honna 400ex
Should be a 40mm but you can enter your machine on the product page and it will tell you which size your ATV uses. All the parts and tools can be found by clicking the first link in the description.
What grease do I use in my rear axle for my Yamaha warrior?
We used the Bel-Ray Water Proof Grease in this video. Unfortunately, it is it out stock right now. But something like the Maxima Hi-Temp Waterproof Grease would also work great. You can check that out here: www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/maxima-hi-temp-waterproof-grease-p
Not related to this video, but i was wondering witch ATV you guys at Rocky Mountain ATV MC would recommend the Honda trx400ex or the Suzuki ltz400. I'm a trail rider that isn't going to do a lot of mods, just the simple bolt on's. Would like to know your opinion. Thanks
You will never go wrong with a Honda. Very reliable and built to last.
I second all american. The honda's may not be the fastest but they are fricken durable. best bang for your buck and you'll spend significantly less time working on them than other quads.
What size is the collet ?
We used the 40mm collet for the quad in this video.
@@rmatvmc same as 2013 trx 400
Where can I get that bearing removal kit
The first link in the description will have most of the parts and tools we used in this video or you can click the link below for just the Bearing Remover Kit.

is the whole rear end of an ATV going to fit the rear of a spots bike? im looking for a simple way to convert a sprts bike to trike
What size bearing remover was used in the video trying to order 1 from the website but need to kno what size for honda trx400x
This machine uses the 40mm bearing remover. You should be able to enter your ATV on the product page and it will automatically select the correct size for you.
Just use a monkey wrench
What y’all website for the tools
The first link in the description will take you to our website with most of the parts and tools we used in this video.
If I need to replace my sprocket hub, are there any clips? Or is it just pressed on? 03 honda 400ex
Whats up with those wheels!
Manda peças do trx400 pro Brasil?
Me sinto, mas nao mandamos partes pro Brasil.
If I tighten my outer lock nut down tight it will lock up my axle and it won't spin freely.
I’m having the same problem did you end up figuring it out?
Those rear wheels and tires look heavy
This is such cap bro I can’t get my god damn back axle to come out
It's super frustrating hey? You ever get it out? I'm working on an 86 200c and everything is super rusted together
@@danjim7056 I ended up beating the living hell out of it with a sludge hammer after spraying pb blaster in it and letting it sit for a day and it went out
@@jesseanthony4816 so there is hope, mines been soaking for day, time to go heat and pound.
@@danjim7056 don’t be afraid to bend the axle is you have to beat it hard
@@jesseanthony4816 I'm terrified of. Bending the axle as they dont make replacements and it's pretty hard to find originals now. Same with the carrier, no options for a replacment.
In this video you say to tighten the axle inner lock nut against the outer lock nut but in the video where the full build it is all done (th-cam.com/video/rYdXYya70t8/w-d-xo.html) the inner lock nut is tightened against the brake disc hub and not against the outer lock nut. So which one is correct? Is the final build wrong?
Yes it is shown incorrect in that video. Like we mention in this video, the service manual is a little deceiving and we fell in the same pitfall like a lot of people have. We fixed it shortly after so we could show the proper way for this video. Inner lock nut should be tightened against the outer lock nut so the outer lock nut can't back off. Nice eagle eye noticing that! - Josh
@@rmatvmc Thanks so much for clarifying that because I am at the point in my build where I am installing the axle and components as we speak and now I know I can get it right!
Jesus loves you, God bless.
Are you torquing the locking nut down and such when the machine is in gear?
If not, how are you keeping the axle from spinning?
In gear
I need those damn snap-ring pliers to
Why dont you sell a rear rotor hub?
Very helpful ////cuz I got crewed over by Honda power sports of Troy in Ohio now gotta do it myself after all stuff I found lose when I got it back definitely not trusting them with my machine again idgaf I’ll make time this go around to work on my quad lol,I didn’t get tusk axle tho mine is the dura blue
Hi, my LTR 450 axle nut has to be bolt on 240Nm. Do you have tips on how to stop your axle from rotating? My rearbrake and enginebrake is not strong enough. Many thanks
Im a little late but i used a pipe wrench on the axle going the opposite way
Awesome video, well detailed. Thanks!
Is anybody able to tell me why I’m unable to put the circlip ring back in… the break hub/stay does not sit far back enough for me to put ring in it’ll go in but definitely not where it’s supposed to sit and the axle bearing carrier is pushed out as far as I can get it any ideas on how I could fix this issue
This same thing is happening to me i about to ground out this stupid metal nub that’s stopping it
Awesome vid and edits and filming and bike and shop and tools
Its definitely not as easy as they make it look
Nah Fr the axle is hard to get out of the bearing carrier
Hey would a warrior 350 axle work for a raptor 350
please name of the tools to open screw hub disc
Alguien sabe si el eje trasero de raptor 700 le queda a una 660?
What kind of swingarm skid plate is that?
Are these made of steel? The wrenches?
What kind of rear sprocket is that ?
If you could could you link the part number for the slide hammer attachment to remove the bearings I got a 2004 Honda TRX 400 ex
The first link in the video description will take you to a page with all the parts and tools used in this video.
What kind of tires are those?
When you order the rust axle Carrier does it come with all the bearings and distance collar??? Plz help
It will come with the bearings but not the distance collar. You will also need to use the OEM O-rings if your ATV uses them.
It'd be nice to have a link to a complete parts kit to replace the essentials in the video.
The first link in the description will take you to a page with most of the parts and tools used in this video.
Where can I find the bearing puller tool that you used.
The first link in the description will take you to a page with all the parts and tools used in this video.
I didn’t know it was reverse threads that’s very important to know.
Great video. Good job
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Do I absolutely need those o rings for a 300ex?
My new carrier didn't come with new o rings
You’ll be fine with old ones but if they’re in rough condition I’d get new ones, it’ll make all your hard work go to waste if everything gets corroded again
