25mm vs 1 inch axle
I'm trying to buy a 25mm axle so I can put a 2010 wheel on my 07. I'm talking to a seller who thinks he has a 25mm but wants to make sure it is in fact a 25mm axle before selling it. Is there any way to tell the difference between the two aside from measuring? Thank you very much for your help!!

I would measure with a dial caliper. Its hard to see the .015 difference and having never looked at the 2 side by side, don't know if there are id marks on them.
25mm front axle part # is 41547-07A

So, are you saying it's not .015" or .020", but .016"? My dial calipers won't do 15 decimal places! Damn! I gotta upgrade!

just take yours to a machine shop and have it turned to .983 on a lathe for $10.00.... fortunately I have my own machine shop ...

Isn't the axle size determined by the wheel bearings? Couldn't you just switch to the earlier model wheel bearings? Just askin'!

Either axle will work...I took a 2010 wheel and just made a direct swap. I think you might have to get the correct spacers to make the wheel fit correctly on a 2007. Someone please chime in if this is correct or not.
