Hi,
I have removed all bolts + braking componets from rear hub and the 35mm nut, but I can not get the axle out of the hub, the manual is suggesting it should slide out or at least take a knock with a hammer to remove.
I have used heat, a large hammer and a puller but its not budging - its obviously never been off in the 20 years of its life, but surely it cant be stuck permanently?
I would have thought the puller would have got it off, so I am now wondering if theres a mechanism still holding the axle in place thats missed in the service manual?
Thanks,
James
Once the nut is off there is nothing to stop it. They can rust in a bit. Best solution is getting it under a press and get some decent pressure on it.
Lots of pentrating spray...leave to soak and good hard wack.
Bigger hammer
