I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on replacing my axle bearings on a raptor 350? the axle moves side to side and i heard that could be the bearings. i know the axle has to come out,but i would like to know the best step by step way of doing this correctly

any advice would help out thanks...

 

ARE THE NUTS LOSE?

 

I just got my raptor and the guy told me this was from the bearings. The bearings on these things seem to go so fast, because there is no grease fitting.

 

WHEN YOU HAVE IT APART ..ADD ONE!

 

See section 6:http://www.sandwizards.com/Service_Manuals/warrior.pdf The stock bearing carrier is junk. The best investment I ever made was a billett dual row bearing carrier. This eliminated all of my axle bearing problems.

 

If you can, get a tapered bearing carrier, they are much better than a dual row setup. They resist an axial load much better. It'll cost you more initially, but will last longer. Well worth it in the end.
