I just buy one Durablue Eliminator Axle for my 2000 Banshee, I buy it online and I give them all the instructions, because my swimarm and my bearings are stock.
But it doesn't fit with my stock bearing, I suppose that it will fit exactly in my axle carrier and bearings, if not what I have to buy to make it fit? or Do you think they probably send me the wrong item?

Really appreciate all your help

I know that the new awesome Raptor is inside of all of us, but please help me,
A Durablue Eliminator axle should fit on the original bearing carrier??

THANKS A LOT.

I am not sure the answer to the question but you should be able to call there 1-800 number and they should be able to tell you yes or no, I would think that it should but again... I am not sure

Aftermarket axles tend to be a bit tighter than the stock ones. I had a very hard time getting one into the bearings of my old 250R. A lot of cussing was involved with the install. You might as well replace the axle bearings while your at this job. Old bearings may have some corrosion on them which would make the fit tighter.

If you don't have a pair of calipers to measure the parts for clearance/fit, then it's a good time to buy some. You can get a dial caliper for about $20 that will tell you if there's no way in heck that the axle will fit, or that it will fit - but it'll be tight. The calipers will come in handy for lots of things.

Also, you're bettter off having a tight fit than a loose one. Many aftermarket parts are designed to be custom fit during installation. I get the feeling that axles fall into that category.

Sandman's giving some excellent advice on the calipers. Not only do they come in handy for fitting parts, when you get into rifles and start reloading you'll need them.

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR ADVISE.
But my problem is that the Eliminator Axle came loose in my stock bearings. I don't know how are the Axles for Hondas, but if some of you have an idea tell me I believe that maybe they send me a 400ex axle.

Some of you ever compare a Banshee axle against a 400ex one?

THANKS AGAIN
