You can change the axle.

that seems like alot for a stock axle? Are the ytm parts more in general?

**Lukeatc185** · 08-20-2009, 09:42 AM

there harder to come by then the ATC parts. my axle has a bend in it. drives me nutz and gets bad after 3rd gear. im just happy i can replace the axle. some on on here told me i had to replace the whole rear. and thats 250US not including shipping.

It's pretty, but I wouldn't pay that much.

Post a WTB on the board, someone may have one.

where did you get this info about "replacing the whole rear end". Was it in a thread?

**Lukeatc185** · 08-20-2009, 12:06 PM

ill look for it i posted a question in some one elses thread.

I bought a complete 225dx rear end (swing arm, brake disc and caliper , axle, hubs) for 200$. YTM around here were popular. I say keep looking around for a deal.

Also when you'll change the axle. Replace the right ( when looking form the rear) bearing and seal for a brand new one.. I stripped the diff be riding with a worn out bearing.

**Lukeatc185** · 08-20-2009, 12:27 PM

ill replace all bearings and seals when i replace the axle forsure. the bearings on there arent in the best of shape to begin with.

I think you mis-read Luke. In the thread posted above - you asked if you can replace just half of your axle. 3podd answered:

He was simply saying that no, you can not replace 1/2 of your axle - you must replace the entire axle. And the axle goes through a drive unit on the left side.

thats a front axle, he needs the rear if i'm not mistaken? anyhow just pull that baby out and stick it in a hydraulic press with a set of V blocks. If its still rideable now i'm sure its fixable.
