Its really not that hard just a cotter pin and a nut. If you are replacing them you are better off replacing them both at the same time. Samething happened to be if they are older then when you go to put them back on they start to spin and you cant get the nut tight. Also, make sure that your tires are both hitting even.

Just stand the quad up by propping it on the back grab bar and pull the cotter pins, unbolt it from the stem and unscrew it from the ends and youre done.
