06BaNsHeE Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) on my zilla i just threated the nut on it and put a socket it then beat the piss out of it ... I put my banshee towel over it and hit it with the hammer and no movement.Do I just keep hitting it till it comes off? Edited January 2, 2008 by 06BaNsHeE Quote
theshee Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 Do you habe the bike off the ground? Not sure if you took the axle apart first or were taking it all off together, ive done both... anyway, i usualy take an air hammer and hut the bolt with it to start it if its stuck, never had one that wouldnt come out after that.

foxracing350 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 my buddy tried everything to get his off and he ended up having to cut it off good luck Quote
06BaNsHeE Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Posted January 2, 2008 I took of the nut already btw Quote

Not sure if you took the axle apart first or were taking it all off together, ive done both... anyway, i usualy take an air hammer and hut the bolt with it to start it if its stuck, never had one that wouldnt come out after that. Axle is still on.I havent touched anything except that.You think If I lift it and just put a towel over and just hammer it out it will come off?Or do I start by taking of the shock.Its a stock carrier swingarm so I didnt want to take apart the axle Quote
theshee Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 take the shock off and get the tires off the ground, may be binding some. Quote
06BaNsHeE Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Posted January 2, 2008 take the shock off and get the tires off the ground, may be binding some. Thanks Ill try that tommorow morning.Its like 40 degreez here in Miami And to cold to work on the banshee.Ill post back tommorow. Quote

theshee Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 lol... you need to come visit. Its 10 outside right now, a foot of snow on the ground and 40mph wind. It pretty damn cold here, if it was 40 id be in a t-shirt. Quote
XxMeltIcexX Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 its 55 here and im freezing.... You need to lift the frame before taking off the swinger, it puts too much stress on the bolt so it wont slide freely. Quote
06BaNsHeE Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Posted January 3, 2008 Lol here theres no wind at all and I was Freezing.I cant picture 10 with 40mph wind. Quote
