YES I JUST BOUGHT A 01 WARRIOR. THE AXLE CARRIER IS RUINED. SOMEONE ROAD IT A WHILE WITH BAD BEARINGA. ANYWAY, POINT OF STORY I M LOOKING FOR A CARRIER USED... FOUND A BLASTER CARRIER WITH NEW BEARINGS IN IT FOR 40.00, WAS WONDERING IF THE BLASTER AND THE WARRIOR WAS A COMPATABLE HOUSING, AND OR COULD JUST GET THE WARRIOR AXLE BEARINGS AND MAKE IT WORK... PLEASE HELP. NEW TO THE ATV THING... THANKS

 

The Blaster carrier will not work. Be careful buying used carriers, they are usually in just as bad shape as yours. Very common problem with the Warriors. To eliminate this problem you can get a $200 billett aluminum carrier dual row or tapered (tapered is better, but more expensive) from Magnum or SRP (majicracing.com)

 

WILL I HAVE TO CHANGE MY AXLE. OR WILL IT JUST GO WITH THE FACTORY ONE. WHAT IS THE DIFFRENCE WITH THE TAPERED AND DUAL ROW.

 

You can use your factory axle, and it comes with the bearings & seals already installed. You won't have to buy anything else. Tapered carrier uses 2 tapered bearings, where the dual row carrier uses 4 roller-type bearings. The tapered bearings are stronger, but with the dual row you get twice as many bearings. I have had 2 Warriors with the dual row carrier and they lasted forever. When I was running the stock carrier, I had to replace the bearings about once every 6 months. Of course, that's riding every weekend and taking a lot of abuse through mud and water.
