OK everybody,I need some help here please. My 4 wheeler has got a bad wheel bearing I discovered while starting a brake job. Its on the left side. I've never done one and I need some knowledge how to go about it. Am I to understand I need to pull the whole axle out to do it. I've done it once on a car about 30 years ago,lol. I keep looking around for a repair manual but they're hard to find without having to buy it. I looked here on this site but apparently Im too junior a member to be able to download one right now.Bummer! One other question if I may.When I pulled the drum off the spindle a torrent of water poured out,the brake shoes were covered in mud along with everything else. I mean the drum had alot of water in it. The shoes were so locked up after I removed the springs I tried to rotate one of the shoes and it wasn't easy at all. I noticed whoever had the machine before myself had laid a bead of RTV around the back plate but apparently it didn't work. Isn't there some kind of gasket for this purpose. I saw it calls for a dust shield but surely this wont keep the brakes dry or will it. Thanks everybody.

I purchased the seals for water pump.finally got old one out and noticed shaft bearing are pretty loose.i see the clip on outer side of case against outer bearing.shaft will move towards inside a little ways then stops.how does shaft and bearings an oil seal come out. I cant find much help in manual 1994 bayou 400 4x4 KLF 400B

Hello guys. So I am having trouble navigating the forum here. I am looking for an exploded parts view or the service manual for a 2000-2004 Yamaha big bear 400 manual shift. Mine does NOT have a shift lever on front left fender . I took the rear end apart because it was stripped splines and now I can't remember where it all goes. (Seals, bearings, and torque specs. I have a new axle, used diff , need to install wheel bearings and brakes etc . Really want to get this thing back together asap

Have an 03 Kodiak 450,& the rear seals are leaking. Can someone tell me how to take out axle & install Brgs.?

i had oil leaking into stator want to change the oil seals how do i remove the bearing to get to them

i had to put bearings in my 800 renegade and went with allballs is those good bearings or should i have went with something else.

I need to replace my steering stem on my Raptor and was wondering if anyone knew how hard it was to change the steering bearings . I figured while i was taking out the stem i could replace them.

:confused:I tore up my left wheel bearings on straight axel eiger.Question = does anyone know which way they have to go in? can the axel shaft go in from the outsideof the swingarm tube or does the tube have to come off and put axel back from the inside and bolt the tube back together?

Ok here goes the book Im about to write. I bought a 02 raptor 660 and the rear end was squeaking very bad. I took out the rear axle and noticed that the bearings in the rear are all tore up, there are only about 10 balls rolling around throughout the whole casing. Yes, you are right they are not in the bearing housing but in the center. I hear a lot about carrier bearings and Im wondering if the bearings that I am replacing are the carrier bearings or if there in another inside the housing because there is a small pipe inside the housing. The balls have wedged in the center where that pipe is and made grooves in it. Will this be OK to just replace the bearings and seals and ignore the groves on the inside around the pipe? Also, does anyone have any advice on how to pull these bearings and seals out of this because it is pretty bad, there was not even the center metal left on the bearings.
