Place a support under the rear swingarm. Remove the right rear wheel and tire assembly. Then remove the dust cover from the end of the axle. This will exposes the end of the axle, with a castle nut and cotter pin. Push the cotter pin out of the castle nut. Remove the nut from the end of the axle. After removing the nut, gently tap on the rear of the spindle, until it slides off of the axle. Then remove the three bolts securing the chain guard to the sprocket. To loosen the chain, you will either have to remove the master link, or adjust it to a looser setting. Remove the chain after loosening it. Three more bolts hold the sprocket in place on the hub assembly. Remove them, and slide it off of the axle.
front or rear rotor? jack up wheel that needs rotor removed. remove wheel remove brake pads and caliper for back axle, remove axle nut. u will need special socket to remove this nut slide rotor off axle, making sure u dont drop bearings on the ground to remove front rotor on4x4, it is pretty much the same as rear , except you will have to remove locking hub from axle before you can remove axle nut.

You only need to remove the left hub assembly. Loosen the axle nut while still on four wheels. Having said that, put rear on suitable stand forward of the rear axle bearing carrier. For ease remove both rear wheels. Remove drive chain. Remove left hub. Remove brake caliper and secure. Remove the rear sprocket with flange together. There are two nuts on the axle that holds this in place. The nuts are different. The outer nut is a lock nut. Remove the outer and remover the inner nut. You can now slide the axle shaft out of the bearing housing. Now remove the housing after loosening the retaining bolts. Take the housing to a bench and remove seals and bearing. Note that there is a long spacer separating the bearing which is in the middle. This how I did this on my 86. Regards
remove the axle nut on the side with the brake hub...and pull threw the other side....very simple
You replace it as part of the rear disc assembly. Remove rear wheel and hub nut cover undo hub nut,then remove the rear caliper and pull the disc off the stub axle.
Yes you do. Just remove the grease cap, cotter pin, nut retainer, and nut, and the drum will slide easily off the axle.
The rear axle hub nut should be torqued to 260Nm or 192 lb/ft - this applies also to the front axle hub nut.
Loosen and remove center hub bolts Slide axle out Remove spanner nut Remove drum
It is in the top of the rear axle. Remove the nut and bolt, gently twist around and pry up slowly to remove. Be carefull not to break off in the axle.
