Im guessing it is probably pretty straight forward but a little guidance never hurts.I anm changing a front axel on my 650 Brute Force and have never done this before.Once I get it out replacing it should be easy,My question is do I need any special tools or is there any trick to it.It broke on the outside of the axel close to the wheel!
Thanks in Advance!

All you need is beer, hammer and duct tape and your done the job. Now sit down and drink beer.

Should almost be the same except you need to remove the brakes if ya need help I can zip over
