I can't get the front axle shaft off my tri-moto. Is there any tips or tricks to getting them loose, or do I have to take the shocks off?:bash:

Now lets see you ether can't get the axle bolt to unscrew or you can't get the bolt out of hub. GOOD Luck. I find if the axle bolt won't unscrew from the shock , I heat ware the bolt screws in and pray the threads don't come out too. I lost half the threads in one shock:cry: Getting axle bolt out of hub bring it in and let the shop press it out or you can drive it out but take care not to flare the threads . I've lost two that way:cry: Most bikes were never maintained so most parts maybe rusted or steel to alumineum , dissimilar metal oxidation, This means two parts are now one if you get them apart you may have only one usable part after. or nune. I find that no pennitrating oil so fare to work on dissimilar metal oxidation. the oxidation absorbs the oil and it don't pennitrate fare. wish you all the luck in the world you will need it. :cry: :bash: :wtf:
