Default DEAD CAT!! again

well after over 2 months of waiting the dealer finally said that my cat was all fixed. I went on a trip up north and about 40 miles into the ride i started hearing a funny noise. Sounded like a stone was stuck in the brakes. well about 5 miles after the noise started, i heard a huge crunch and the back tire locked up. My brake caliper FELL OFF and got lodged in the tire, thus ripping my axle from the differential! can't believe it!! 2 hours later we finally got the back tire off and were able to start riding again. the tool kit that is on the quad is USELESS, all wasn't lost though, luckily i have a manual so i still put 120 more miles with no brakes whatsoever, the foot brake fell off too! I called AC today and they said that it will be fixed , my warrenty ended on Thursday. The dealer was great too, said it will be fixed by the weekend, new 2004 axles on the back and a new rim!!
