Man I thought I was doing something wrong with the hubs I had a slide hammer on them and nothing. Watching you slide them off like that makes me jealous as hell 😂. I bet the whole job will be a pain going to have to set it aside for a bit
If you are to hammer out the axle in the way that we had done... thread on the axle nut so that it is flush with the end of the axle covering the threads. This should prevent the threads from getting marred.
I had a 84 200e big red now I have an 81 185s and it has all the original parts I wanna take the chain guard off and rear skid plate so I’m here to learn how to remove the axel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I need to remove the whole chain guard off
ya i had the same issue with the drum seized on. it took heat and 2 cans of pen oil with a 12lbs sledge. and it fought all the way off. mushroomed the axle and used a grinder and file to save as much as i could;d but lost my crown holes.
@@smellslike1477 We ended up buying an older craftsman adjustable wrench from a flee market years ago. opens to an 2 1/2” I believe. First time we had to use it.

Had a machinist friend look at ours. Was able to run a die over the one, other axle was grinded down aswell.
well thats my moring planned. I was curious about the bearings THX!
That little wheel with the sprocket goes on on the axle can I come off for to put on a different rear end
Mine has so much play in the axel like one of the wheel bearings just turned to dust!
Sounds like it is time to change it !
Do you remember the size of those 2 nuts on the axle.. infront of the brake drum
We don’t know the size of them. We ended up using two adjustable wrenches. Didn’t have any spanners that large.
41mm I believe. And my adjustables only open to 40mm 🤦🏻♂️
