I blew the front seals last saturday . Im having them rebuilt . Once I get the axle out . Ive loosened all the squeeze bolts and the axle will slide . Ive got a 24mm allen to break it loose but cant get it all the way out .

Wheeliest

just pull it the hell out

The wheel is sliding in the forks , but what keeps the wheel centered on the axle besides the discs is the axle 2 piece?

spacers.... just pull it out.

For anyone who doesnt know like myself. The axle is 2 piece. One male side stepped down and threaded. The other side is a bushing ,nut,and spacer in 1. This keeps the wheel centered not spacers. Leave the clutch side fork squeeze bolts tight take a breakover and the 24mm allen socket turn for right handed threads, once the axle is seperated loosen the squeeze bolts and slip out the bushing/nut and the other side is already loose it slips right out of the wheel. Im off tomorrow to the rebuild shop.Thanks a ton to all. $112 fork rebuild is that to high $52 for the seals $60 for labor. That is me pulling and installing.

only loosen one side of the squeeze bolts at a time to loosen the axle after that loosen all of them then pull the **** outta it

your obviously smokin something good. If you had a problem taking it off, wait till you have to put it on correctly and set the axle.

thats about right on the forkseals though.
