i bought a 2001 Honda 400EX last week. great fun to ride.




however, it needed a new "axle carrier" according to the previous owner. this was something that i knew going into the deal. apparently, this is the part that you rotate when you want to adjust the tension on the chain (after loosening those 4 allen bolts).


this is the little bastard that's broken.




and this obviously causes massive slack in the chain





so my question is, what is the name of this part, and what site can i grab it from?

i have found that rockymountainatvmc.com has some decent deals, i just don't know what the part is called.

last question: i also need to replace the rear wheel bearings, as the axle wiggles like a **** when the quad is jacked up. is the carrier and the bearing one piece?

 

go onebay and order a lonestar twin row bearing carrier it the best on the market i just had to get a new one because i didnt grease it for three years and it lasted that long best way to go is ebay mine was for a 300 ex 129 on ebay one shop where i lived wanted 160 without bearings and seals and the other the first time i went thieer wanted 169 with bearing i came back a month late and asked them again and said about ebay and the went to 135

 

Yeah, it's called a "bearing Carrier" and ebay is the best place to find one.
They are around $300.00 from a dealer. You'll also need to get new axle bearings.
