LiftdT4R Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Hey, what's up? I'm changing out ym back axle this afternoon, and I got the 2 50mm nuts, and hubs off. Everything except the sprocket hub. I know it's splined, and Clymer says it slides off, but I havent managed to be able to do that. I tried heating it up with my torch, also triedtapping around the edges with a hammer, and just good old fashinoed pulling on it. Can;t seem to work it loose, must be corroded. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Quote
Bill Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Break away penatrating oil? :shrug: Quote
LiftdT4R Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Posted November 9, 2006 Break away penatrating oil? :shrug: Had PB Blaster on there allready, didn't do a damn thing. I tried hitting the whole axle on the one side with a full size sledge, and nothing moves, dought this bike a couple months back, and it was never greased, I know the thing is frozen, but I'm just not sure what to do, think I'm just gonna junk the whole rear end.

odaen Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 I had a brake rotor hub hang up like that.... Lots of penetrating oil, heat, and elbow grease finally got the bitch off. Good luck :beer: Quote
LiftdT4R Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Posted November 9, 2006 Yeah, I took the carrier off the swinger, and I think I'm just gonna junk it, pulled off the rtor and sprocket, but this fuckin' thing does not move! I beasted on this thing, PB blaster, oxy acetaline torch, and a full sledge, and no fuckin' dice, I gave up on trying to get the sprocket hub off, and just started punding the shit out of the axle on the left side to see if I couldn;t force everything through, no goddamn luck!

Thanks, Here's what I've done in the past, take the carrier off the swinger, spray the hell out of it with penetrating oil (down in the splines) with the sprocket hub facing the ground, pound the axle on the ground and the carrier, sprocket hub, and brake hub will all come off.

I have the axle and carrier off, and I'm not worried about ruining the ale since it's bent, so I'm gonna let it sit tonight with the oil(thanks :beer: ), and see what happens, I think it's going to be equally as tough to remove the the carrier, but at least I can save myself a few $$$. Thanks again! :beer: :beer: Quote

LOL Nah, just throw the old Carhart jacket over the line, I've seen quite a few trucks grills and windshields saved like that. Either that or buy sythetic. Quote

Kroil has worked when others haven't. Good kuck. Quote
Wallrat Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 I used an overnight Kroil soak, a oxyt/acet rosebud, and a 5ton press to get mine off. Made it almost to 4 tons before it started to give. Quote

Made it almost to 4 tons before it started to give. This isn't helping my morale. Thanks for the tips though, tried letting it soak in PB Blaster last night, and I'm gonna try to get it off when I get outta work today. Ifthat doesn;t work, I'll try some of the other suggestions. Thanks again, I'll let you know how it turns out, Quote
CFM Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 In your case I would say you need to rig up some kind of press or Hydrolic (sp?) setup... If it's siezed on there that good, you will not get the job done using basic hand tools... Do you have a good size vice?? I've always had luck that way... Quote
