I was hoping some actual owners could tell me.How hard are the Lonstar 2+2 axles to install.My brother says axles are really hard to do but from what I've read they're not as hard as he claims.Also,does it take any special skills or can anyone do it?

The only reason the axle would be hard to install would be if your bearings in the carrier are so rusted/worn that you can't get the old axle out.

While the warrior is on the ground...Loosen the axle nuts, tires and hub bolts. Take off the chain (or at least get it off the sprocket)
Put the wheelers back end off the ground, take off the brake, take off the tires/hubs. Sprocket carrier should be free to remove from left side of the wheeler. and the axle should be able to be pushed out. Sometimes a slight pounding with a piece of wood and a hammer or rubber mallet on the axle is required. (there again depends on how well the axle/carrier was taken care of in the first place)
Once the axle is removed..swap the brake rotor hub onto the the new axel....check the bearings in the axle carrier with your finger(any signs of ruff movement-change them) and reverse the procedure.
Not the best directions, I know...But you will see that it's not hard at all once you get into it.

good luck
