Warrior and banshee axles

[Jordysoso]

So the guy working on my bike had to use a 40 ton shop press to get my axle out, in doing so it mushroomed the threads over the nut on the end of the axle. Hes going to try to have his buddy who owns a machine shop fix the threads, and said if it doesn't work he can give me the stock axle from his banshee. Are the axles interchangeable between the shees and warriors?

Nope

why didn't he just heat up the bearings? and then tap the axle out with wood and the nut on the thread?

Prob busted 6 full 2x4s like I did and just used press

 

[buzzy613]

did you heat the bearings first? when I did mine little heat went along way along with wd-40

 

[geeessfore]

Soaked in pb and heated

 

[buzzy613]

huh I guess it works different for every one

 

[rappy'97]

Bfh.

 

[geeessfore]

Ya the BFH is the reason the wood broke lol

 

[buzzy613]

at least you didn't break out the 10lbs hammer!

I have torn so much apart on my quad and that damn axle was the only part that fought me the whole way.

He used oxygen and pb blaster. Everything was rusted together really bad. I saw the thing earlier and it looked real nasty. Looks like seals went, no grease, and the bearings haven't been changed since 01...

I mushroomed mine with a hammer, the recommended way per yamaha is to use a press

 

[Jordysoso]

I have a feeling he didn't use a press and used a bfh instead.

 

[YAMAHAULER]

I just pulled mine out by hand

Any recommendations on axles on a budget?

A used one on ebay is prob the cheapest way! If you want a new axle a tusk race axle you can buy for under 200 on ebay!

Why didn't he back castle nuts off to flush with the threads? Then that wouldnt have happened! that blows man! I tried the wood and bfh...may as well have jacked and splooged on it! IMO have it pressed out and save yourself the trouble. Your gonna have that fun with the swongarm bearings when they go too...

 

[geeessfore]

I hit the castle nut so hard the wood cracked nut in half

 

[WV98YFM350]

your nut or its nut? lol
