As far as the axle nuts, They were easy on my 300, because it was in good shape, but a bitch on my scrambler..

I reccomend the biggest adjustable wrench you can find, 15 - 18 " in length, lots of P blaster , or wd 40 or liquid wrench.
or freeze off.

or all 4

put a big pipe on the end of the wrench and pull down..

clean the threads in front of the axle nuts with a wirebrush too, this will help.

you should be spinningto the left to back them off, than theres a Clip you have to pop off,
than everything slides off to the right, and the axle out to the left..

the carrier pops out to the left also, use liberal wd-40 when taking it out,

make sure you clean the **** out of everything

getting thebearings out might be a bitch, you can try tapping them out from the inside, and as far as pressing new ones in

unless you have a press, or a workbench Vice, its not going to be easy, with a press / vice, just line stuff up straight,
and use makeshift shims of around the same size as the bearing but slightly smaller, to push it in.,

 

sweet. thanks a lot man. Hopefully this will work out. Thanks again.
