I believe the answer is:

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 sure about the 'up' bit.

'axle repaired by edward has' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'axle' is 'exal' which is within the answer.
'edward' could be 'ted' and 'ted' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'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" .)
