exalted

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'raised up' is the definition.
'exalted' can be an answer for 'raised' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'up' bit.

'axle repaired by edward has' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'axle' is 'exal' which is located in the answer.
'edward' could be 'ted' and 'ted' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to be' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for exalted that I've seen before include "Elevated in nature or style" , "At a high level; extremely happy" , "August" , "Rasied high, glorified" , "High - rapturous" .)
