I've read the service manual-and other threads -but am apparently stupid and need some help.
How do I get the disk rotor assembly to slide off the axle? Do I have to remove the four allen screws?
How do I pry it away from the swingarm without damaging the rotor?

Allen screws are only holding the rotor on the hub.  If you're worried about bending the disc you can remove them but I warn you they may be stuck in and you may end up stripping them out, I know I have before.

It's designed to slide off, at least it is on the other Yamahas I've owned.  More than likely it's stuck on there, and liberal application of lubricants or some time with the torch to heat it up may be in order.

It took almost 3/4 a can of PB Blaster, a couple of hours of soaking, and some prying but the rotor assembly finally came off. No wonder my bearings toasted. :lol:
Thanks for the help. Everything suggested it was supposed to slide off but it didn't want to budge and had I not read your reply I would have removed the allen bolts AND attacked it with a BFH (big effin hammer). You saved me some money, bro. Appreciate it. :cheers:

Glad you got it apart, they can be a bear when they stick like that.  I had a heck of a time removing my carrier after it seized in there.

Got it apart but still have a ways to go.
This is how toasted the bearings are.

Krandall - Yep. First time replacing them. I've put hundreds of miles on my quad each year since 2006 and have crossed many creeks and streams. Lesson learned, I guess.
Colorado - I bet.

Anyone got a picture of what the inside of a carrier should look like, or a diagram of where bearings belong? I've done just about everything I can think of to remove what looks to the leftover of bearing races from the carrier but they don't want to budge. Maybe they're actually part of the carrier?

Heat is your friend.  A heat gun or a propane torch will make the job much easier.  

You have to move the spacer sleeve (#5) to one side a little bit in order to get behind one of the bearings to drive them out.  If you picture the two ball bearings stacked on top of each other, then the sleeve, then the other two bearings like this:   ||=||

You need to use a long punch and a hammer to to reach through the assembly and drive the bearings out the other side.  Does that help any?

Information is helpful but stuff I've already tried. I have even tried putting the carrier assembly on a electric hotplate (like for cooking), letting it get good and hot and then squirting cold water on the bearing races.
No dice. I'm thinking I might be effed.

If you cover the ride here and back, I'll get it done for you.  I have a hydraulic press and a 20 lb. sledge. :P

But seriously, if you have hit your breaking point, I'll help you out.
