[yater]

I'm pissed off--I've been banging on my rear axle for hours--I'm trying to replace the bearings and the collar on the splines is STUCK!-- won't budge--any tricks to get it off would be appreciated--I'm about to put this pos back together and ride it into the ground the way it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thmbsdwn: :bs: :cry: :mad: :bash:

try heat, them penatrating oi. when area is cool reapply penatrating oil. should come right off. also use a brass punch and hit the brake hub all around then more oil.

Hope it turns out for ya Yater, that nut sure was stuck.

I had a tough time trying to get the rear brake hub to slip off the rear axle. I tried everything with no luck. I was afraid it would need to be torched off and replaced.
I ended up makeing a plate to slip in between the hub and the bearing carrier housing.
Then I got three new metric bolt to thread threw the hub. I was able to basicly "press" it off by running the bolts tight against the plate.
The rusty splines didnt have a chance, It was quit easy, and didnt hurt the thin walled carrier ends...............:thumbsup:

I say just get rid of the axle and get a nice blue one.;)

[jenndnn3]

Scott, I dont believe there are any other axles out there that actually fit this particular X..........Someone be kind enough to correct me and please gimme link (hint hint);)

[yater]

I GOT IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just hammered on the inside of the disc a little bit--thanks everyone for your help. Everything is off the right side(brake side)--now--do I pull the axle all the way through the chain side to get to the bearings?--and does anyone have the numbers for the front and rear bearings? for replacements?

[ScottZJ]

Cool that means you should be ready to ride soon! Give me a shout.:D

[yater]

yeah soon enough--I'm locked in on this thing now--since I've had it, I've only ridden that one weekend and it's driving me crazy! another problem though--when howie hammered on the axle, the nut (at the hub) smashed into the little pin that goes through it. I may have to remove the sprocket spline and everything on that side and slide it that way--can I do that?

[jenndnn3]

Yater, your pm box is full!!!
Anyway yeah it should all slide through...

the pm

Hey Jenn, I got everything off finally (banged on the disc for a while) thanks for the help again--I've got another question though-- do you know the size of the nut on the end of the axle (at the hub)? howard beat mine up and the nut is mashed into the pin that goes through it. I cut the pin but don't have a socket to fit the nut. Does that make sense? the size (mm) of the nut--thanks again

If I understand your question correctly it would be 27mm for the axle nut the one that holds the wheel hubs on, for future reference, It is the same for all the bigguns 350x, 250r and 86-87 200x (not sure on earlier years but I suspect so)...Lucky Guy my brake hub is STILL stuck on....:bash: Jen

P>S Chat with Dads about bearings.....

[yater]

Thanks again jenn--luckily, my trike seems to have been well cared for in the past-a little wd40 overnight and the thing came off pretty easily

I AM JEALOUS!!!!:cry:
