I will be installing an eliminator axle in my Raptor soon. Are there any tricks to getting this right, or is it simply a matter of removing parts, sliding out the old axle and sliding in the new?

What do I torque the axle nuts to? Can they be too tight?

 

call the dealer to get the torque specs. As far as easy install, it should be.

Hey AZLandscaper...the installation is pretty straight forward, but on mine I found that the locknut would not work without having either it or the disc carrier shaved 1/4" to provide clearance to install the RH C-clip. Not a big deal really. Any machine shop can do it for a nominal fee. Other than that, installation is flawless. I really like my axle and the handling improvement it provides. One thing though...for some dumb reason, my locknut TIGHTENS itself when I ride! Don't know why, but it has me a bit concerned. Got to check that out and find a fix. Hope yours goes on OK. I think the axle thing is money well spent. Good luck, and good riding!
