remember reading about it, did a search, found nothing.

NOW i need an axle. anyone have any info? thank you.

 

I havr a durablue axle on my V. i got it from rockymountianatv.com I got the eliminator standard. I would get the 2+2 axle if i did it over. Both are the same price ..It was $300.46 to my door.

 

sweet, thanx so much for the reply. i was bummed 'cause i thought it would be around $500. i have a couple of more questions if you don't mind: what are you running for hubs? i seem to remember someone having problems getting the bearings or something like that.............did you have any problems?

 

I have the stock hubs on the axle, and i used the stock bearing. The only problems you will run into is getting the nuts off for the hub, and the bearing nut. This bearing nut is HUGE.. I work at a machine shop and we didnt even have a wrench to fit it. We used a 36" pipe wrench. This retainer is set at 168ft lbs . Thats tight. The bearing is kinda stuck on the factory axle but with a press it came right off. Im not saying you need a press. You could use a fork shaped piece of wood and tap it off with a hammer. The bearing will slide right back on the new axle with no effort. Now to tighten the retainer back, i used a large vise and some brass shimstock sheet so it wouldnt scare the new axle. I pretty much just got the nut as tight as i could.


P.S. there are 2 set screws on the bearing retainer nut, these things are tight as hell too. Be sure to use a allen driver on these . The kind you put on a ratchet.


If you have any questions feel free to pm me..
