Hi!
I broke my rear axle bearings and the bearing carrier.
I am trying to exctract one of the rear wheel hubs to make the axle go away.
Unfortunately it is rusted and I can't get it out, no matter how many hits with an hammer I give it.
I even turned the atv on the ride side and sprayed the part with WD-40...
I wanted to show some photos but unfortunately I can't due the rules.
I hope to don't break the rules if I share some links this way -------> ibb.co/PY8hnzJ

If I remember right, you only need to pull the left side hub to pull the axle. I think you are going to have to heat the hub by the look of it, and hammer it off or use an impact gun and puller, or both...
You should be able to directly load the photos here, maybe you didn't have enough post yet. You should be able to now. Use the insert image icon above the message box..
I will try doing as you say..I have a "tool" (a little 30% propane 70% butane sprayer) which can reach 1800 celsius..will try using that as well an hammer...!
I'm thinking about trying with the other one, is it possibile to do the same job working on the rear right hub?
I mean if it comes out I can try to remove the rear braking plate from the right and then make the whole axle come off pushing on the left It?
The brake hub is pressed onto the axle and is almost impossible to get off. Your better of just cutting the axle. I have a durablue for sale if you would like to buy one.
ok, thanks! Apart from that do you think that the non original, aftermarket hub housing I linked will be good aswell? Do you see any other problems to other parts of the assembly judging by the photos I posted? thanks

Not sure I would trust that carrier, probably better off finding a used stock unit.
Hard to see, but something looks off with those threads next to the rear drive sprocket on the axle.
Make sure to clean up that corrosion on the center of the axle as much as possible and coat it with a marine grease or something to keep water off of it.
Hi guys,
So I have an '03 Z400 and the frame is original I think (the metallic Blue color), and it has not been gusseted to prevent cracking.
Anyone know how to go about getting hold of a budget-friendly Gusset Kit? I saw a post on here from a while ago with someone suggesting the one by B.A.R.E...
Well my rear carrier went on my trail machine so I have it all apart, my shocks also need servicing as well so I am doing a rebuild. I picked up a couple parts quads with houser parts and wondering what your thoughts were on which front end to use. Now would be a good time to add the BARE gusset...
Just trying to find out which is more preferred .. between +2+1 a arms, +3,+3+1, or long travel a arms? (Aren’t LT +3? Or have I misread some things?)
And what brand? I’ve been leaning towards long travel JD’s with stage 3 & 4, or 4, Elkas (kit) .. around 2,500 or so... I know a lot of people...
Hey guys, I’m trying to look for some suspension for my sons 04 KFX400, we have flexxbars, steering stabilizer, slip on, power lid, and some others, but he needs some suspension upgrades. We are wanting to do more XC racing for this up coming year so we aren’t looking for a wide a arms plus 2...
