I got ambitious today seeing my neighbor just brought home a dirtbike last night, and decided to rip my axle apart. Everything went good until I got to the point where I had to take the axle out of the carrier. The axle wouldn't come out so I decided to take the whole carrier off in one piece thinking that would make things run a little more smoothly but when I got it off I got a better look at the inside of my carrier. It looks like there weren't any bearings in there to begin with, so I'm not sure how these things set in, not to mention it looks like there were threads on the inside for something but they aparently broke off. Now I'm stuck with an axle still in the carrier and it won't come out and what seems like a busted carrier. Needless to say I won't get this finished tonight and I hope it doesn't rain because I'm out in the elements with no shelter.:( PLEASE HELP

just make a new one lol. no one ever moves sh*t. just doesnt happen here lol. but it looks like your missing a axle bearing. you have the lock nuts right? cuz if you got the lock nots taken off, your just missing a axle bearing. i dont know how that could even work lol
 
Dah well. But yes, I have the axle nuts. When I got the sprocket off it blew my mind because it looks like there's a channel in there where the bearings are supposed to be. In other words it's like the old school type where u have to place each ball one by one in the grease as opposed to just sticking the donut inside and sealing it up. I dunno I think I got myself a whole new project ahead of me cuz I also noticed this:

Its a '00, and I was thanking him for moving my post contrary to what you said. Yes I know I'm missing the axle bearing which come to find out when I finally got it all apart today, the whole thing blew apart before I owned it and I didn't know about it so I just rode it here and there. What happened was the 'channel' I was talking about was the actual inner and outter racers of the cage bearing which heat welded themselves to the axle rod and the inner chamber of the carrier, thus me needing a new carrier. I honestly don't know how it held itself in place but I'm damn glad it lasted this long without causing me or someone else serious injury. But yes, Mr. 89 you were right and dirty was also right and I acknowledged both of you :)
