My bearings in my rear axle went bad and are in need of some changing and this is the first time i have done this on any fourwheeler, so my first question is, is this something i can do myself? and if i can how exactly does it come apart? cuz i know the whole bearing and axle housing comes off as one but where do i go from there?

Try tightening the one on the inside a tiny bit before backing the outside one off.
On quads with reverse there is another way to do it.....

get the biggest ajustable wrench you can put some kind of extender on it(like a pipe), have your friends pound on the brakes and then torque it off. that should work.
Big nuts are standard threads (both) righty tighty, lefty loosey. Stick a bar or something thru sprocket hub to hit carrier then loosen outer nut. before rusting it would have been tight to about 180 ft lbs. Use a cheater bar pipe on wrench.
Notch the nuts not too deep but enough that a cold chisel can catch a lip and tap them off do the same to put them on.
