installing yfz front

[zach45]

well i got the kit comming from 2003ltdbanshee..
hes sending me the a-arms noss rods .. cut with his spacers.
i found a pair of 2004 or 2005 shocks for 200 shipped.. so i had to take them.s

so when i take off the hubs ... how do i do it?
do the ball joins pop off? or do i take off that nut with the cotter pin?
thanks..

zach you gotta take the cotterpin off and remove the castle nut

[zach45]

and dont mess with the ball joints right?..

[climb any hill]

Don't move the joints.
Castle Nut removal will allow hub to slide out.
The hardware store has new cotter pins, make sure to replace & throw out the old ones.

thanks guys im excited...
my back and sholders took a beating after this weekends ride....

youlll understand how to do it once u get the wrench in your hand and get working, its very easy, the only bitch is gettin the old ball joints out of the spindles, thread the castle nut to the end of the ball joint so no threads are sticking out, and hit the castle nuts with a rubber mallet till they come lose and the spindle comes off,

if u dont have coter pins u can just use a nail and cut it to length and bend it over thats what i use they last alot longer..

you can buy stainless steal cotter pins for next to nothing, may as well, alot easier to get on an off than a bent nail! reminds me of raguncajun, hes a nail user too, hahah

Zach, CLYMER. How many times do i have to post saying that? J/k man. I tried to use the clymer and they use special crap to take the ball joints out. I got out a BFH and a 5' pry bar. Amen.

As for the removal/install, the guys did a great job of covering it well.

Now start saving to get $200 so you can get a nice gforce axel. Then your handling will be awesome over stock.
