The carrier right? Not the swingarm?

If it is the carrier your in for a fight. LEt it soak in some pb blaster for as long as possible. Then get a big ass hammer to beat the axle out. Some guys install a grease zerk on the carrier also so that The bearings will last longer

[bansheefreak]

if the bearing is trashed you shouldnt have a problem getting axle out but getting the races off the axle will be a bitch get a dremel or something...

[olmick]

yeah its the axle bearings, so are they that hard to get out?, im going to be trying to fix this either tonight or tom night and i need all the help i can get on it... could someone give me a step by step instrution on this cuz no place around here has clymers manuals in stock and id love to go riding on thanksgiving

its not hard to disassemble prop up the bike take off the wheels with a 14mm then take off the hubs i think its a 22mm then take off the axle nuts and it should slide right out off the top of my head

Also take the chain off.

 

I would leave the right side hub on so that you can put a pipe on it and hammer the axle out.

 

If your axle bearing came apart wich mine did the axle will be jammed in. The ball bearing came out of mine and were wedged in causing th eaxle to get locked in

The penitrating oil is a great idea. I soak it overnight and then put heat to it with a propane torch

 

(rinse it off first obviously). When it starts to cool, smack them out. The heat makes a big difference.

Did your axle slide out or did you have to pound it out?

[LiftdT4R]

When I put mine back on, I tapped a grease fitting into the carrier, and I also put some anti-seize on the splines of the rotor hub and sprocket hub. Should be a little easier, to take apart next time that way.

pounded it with the sledge hammer

[Hollister_Hitman]

pounded it with the sledge hammer

 

Were the ball bearings out of the sleeves and rolling in the carrier?
