anyone?

Did your axle nuts come lose and let it move?

[icecold_shee]

no, theyre still tight

I'll have a better idea after today when I pull out my stock axle. But my guess is you trashed the bearings, then the slop allowed the sprocket hub to rub the swingarm.

k, thats what i kinda thought, i have a friend that is comin over to help me out with it then ill know more bout it and let yall know

I am repairing that excact problem on my 01' Bnashee same side but I can't get the axle out. Did you have a hard time taking your axle out because of the messed up bearing

[icecold_shee]

yeah, the bearing were destroyed, and all the balls put it in a bind, i just had to pull the lil balls out one at a time till i got em all out, then it slid out fine

Thanks, I tried to hit the axle out using a piece of pipe over the hub with a sledge hammer but no success. I will do what you said. What year is your bike and did you ever service the bearings? I have an 01' and I never serviced them. Thanks for the help. Weird we had the exact same problem

[icecold_shee]

its a 2000 and that was the first time theyve been dug into

I have picked about 5 ball bearings out and have been hitting it with a B.M.F hammer like it says in clymers. I am almost there. What did you do about the big outside bearings?
