Broke Axel need advice

[jason0923]

I was out mudding today and broke the front right axle trying to back out of something, I have bigger tires on it and sort of expected this eventually. Anyway I was consodering fixing it myself and was wondering if anyone had done that and how hard is it. Does anyone here have any guides or instructions or recommendations on replacement axles?

what grizz is it

replacing the axle is easy if u have tools, when i broke mine i took the wheel off, take the axle nut off, tie rod end off, lower ball joint bolt and upper ball joint nut off remove kunckle and replace axle and would be a good time to do a seal and wheel bearing if its got play.

if you look at replacing be sure to give us a call. Rhino Brand axles are a great alternative to keeping stock axles if you have a 660, 550, or 700.. Much stronger than OEM and retail at $199. we have them on sale for 194.99 and free shipping.

+1 for what Rage said, and for them as a sponsor/company. They took great care of me in getting my Rhino axle to me quickly.

It is easy enough to replace an axle.. If you search I think there are some "how to videos" I had my rt front out this spring to change a boot and had a really hard time getting it back in to the diff. I guess I stretched the clip and had to replace it. It took a week to get ithe new one. They are cheap so i would suggest that u order an inner and an outer clip, just in case.
Also it might be a good time to replace the bearings

Rage,
Is that price for one or 2? If I am replacing one front one I may as well do both.
