Is it a concentric or non-concentric machine?

If you're talking about the Rear Wheel Bearing Carrier -

Jack the quad up, pull the wheel off, pop the dust cover off, pull the cotter pin, slap the axle nut off with an impact gun, pull the hub off - then pull the bottom 2 carrier bolts out, the top carrier bolt off, and the carrier will come off in your hands (maybe - if the inner bearing race is not stuck to the shaft [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]).

OR (the harder method):

Pop the dust cover off, pull the cotter pin, break the axle nut loose with a breaker bar, jack the quad up, pull the wheel off, remove the axle nut, pull the hub off - then pull the bottom 2 carrier bolts out, the top carrier bolt off, and the carrier will come off in your hands (maybe - if the inner bearing race is not stuck to the shaft [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]).

No sweat Quadwrench. The reason I asked is because the Concentric drive machines have a snap ring to deal with, to remove the axle from the carrier, wheras the non-concentric do not. The techniques are similar, but a little different because of it.
