I bought my seals and bearings from Rocky Mountain ATV. www.rockymountainatv.com

They were for the factory axle. I would wait till you get your new axle, I don't know if the bearings and seals change to match the new axle.

good luck. Keep the thread updated on what you end up with.

Ride on. wobble wobble wobble.. lol

Install tips? Hmmm let me recall..... I ended up using a bearing puller with a slide hammer attachment in order to get my rear end bearing out. It was the one that is in the actual final drive on the left side of the machine. If I recall correctly, I think I ended up heating it up with a propane torch as well.

Don't let it scare ya... just hold your tongue to the left, then right, then stand on yer head and yell Jimminy Cricket. Oh, and have patience.

Ride on.

Well, seems my previous reply and my original reply might be a bit off. I read the beginning of your signature and thought you were talkin about a wolverine. Disreguard all I have said. lol.

Sorry, I'll try and do as my teachers in kindergarten told me.. Pay more attention.

Ride on.
