Axle sproket / hub stuck

[quad4me]

Got a used axle with carrier, sproket and brake disc. Need to pull axle out of carrier....but sproket won't "slide" off....as the clymers says. Even tapped it with a hammer...nada. any Ideas or techniques?

[macgillivary]

put a piece of hardwood on it and whack it with a hammer

needs some muscle to get that off sometimes

soft wood will just shatter into bits

or actually anything that will spread out the blow of a hammer, you just want to avoid bending something

I upgraded to the BFH....still won't budge. Don't need those hubs....but the hard part is that it's not onthe quad...so I have to hold it or place it on somthing....without it moving.

do you have a work bench?? if so drill a hole so the end of the axle with the threads on it will fit through so that the lip that the wheel hub sits aginst rests on the top of the work bench, then hold the other end of the axle, hit the sprocket hub working around it till it comes off. this is how I did mine, only had to beat the piss out of it to get it to move.

 

good luck, let me know if you need anymore help.

OK..got the axle out of the carrier...but the bearing and sleeve came out too. SO...what is the trick for that. Or do I need the tool like the CLYMERS says?????

 

Thanks

take the axle to a machine shop.that has a press. it will cost you like ten to twenty dollars. most napa stores have one. have them press it out. they will know how to do it with out damage. then sandblast that sleeve before reinstalling it.
