@lastmoto777

You really need to try to keep the axle from budging while you are loosening those nuts. If you could possibly have someone sitting on the quad with all the brakes on , and let some air air out of the back tires so it wont roll so easily. When the quad moves at all that is where all your energy and torque is going instead of to the nut. Also If yoo have a pipe to put over the pipe wrench handle that would dramatically increase the torqe you wil be able to apply to the lock nuts. Anyway. That can be very difficult to break loose. Keep on working at it you will get it loose. Best of luck with it.

If the noise is only happening while braking it probably has something to do with the brakes. I would guess that the bearings may need to be replaced if it is a 2001. The sound is probably coming from the differential. Make sure there is oil in your rear. I take pretty good care of ours but there was Muddy water in it. Good luck with that.

And stick a skinny screwdriver behind it so it can't go back in its groove and just work your way around then pull it up with pliers after you get it about halfway around it will come out. It's a strong ring. So it's probably going to take a couple of attempts. Anyway. Good luck with that.

You have to get the rubber o-ring seal off from between the axle and collar. You may have to ruin it to get it off. The assembly will NOT come off until you remove it. then the collar should come out. If your brakes are really worn they may hang up on the drum and not come out. If its being really difficult remove the whole axle . It will slide out with the brake and drum still attatched to the axle and brake assembly. Then just knock the drum off with a hammer striking the back of the drum. You will be able to separate the brake assembly from the drum once it is off the axle. I hope this helps.
