I have a '98 & in the middle of installing a new rear axle. I got a repare disc off e-bay for around $10.00 & it's invaluable. The short: Disasemble everything from wheels/hubs, brake stay & caliper etc...Remove axle by driving it to the left. Careful of axle hub threads!---Take oversized washers, build up over threads & install axle hub nut back on. Now drive axle to the left. Pay special attention when inspecting the splines on that axle. Where the ring gear drives. Allways go for a new wheel bearing/seal kit. I went all the way to removing the swing arm & shock spring. Get the disc. Let me know how you make out.
