Front axle will not come out

#1

Post by Twobigv »

Hey guys my front axle on my 50 will not come out, all the post's i have read talk about a spacer on the left side. It seems like this it the culpret for not letting the axle slide out from the right side. But the spacer on mine looks like it is part of the axle, I cant even see any seperation groove is this the case or do i need to take some heat to it. Or do i need to get a new pair of glasses.
thx

There isn't any spacer on the front axle. Given the 2 fork cap nuts are loose, and the axle nut/washers are removed, the axle should come out. Tapping on the axle threaded end with a brass hammer, or a wooden block and a regular hammer should loosen it.
