Axle

Go buy a cheap deep well socket that will fit over the threads. Take a BFH and smash that thing out of there. The socket will push on the flat area of the end of the axle so you will not damage the threads at all.

What SDD said.....dont do it any other way. You'll mess up the castle nut threads and then have quite a mess on your hands. You could get it pulled too. But thats a lot of hassle as well. If it dont come off the BFH way, then pull the carrier off and go get it pulled

Get a big BRASS hammer and you can beat the snot outta the threaded end all day without buggering the threads. The hammer will probably get f00ked up, but that's it's job.

 

That same hammer can be used to beat the crap outta the swingarm bolt to get it out. Just went through this exercise on my 'shee a couple weeks ago.. Took a torch, lots of penetrating oil and a BFH to get it out.

Thanks guys, too bad i read this a day after i got it together. I ended up breakin out the propane torch and heated that sucker up. Then used a mallet to bang it out and it popped right out. It took some time and thinking but me and my buddy got it out. Getting the new bearings in was tricky but we got em in. It gave me a chance to paint my axle carrier metallic silver, it looks sweeet.

 

BTW what is a BHF, all you guys are saying this but i can't figure it out.
