havin a lil prob tryin to do some maintenance on the bike. need to take off the rear tire to change the sprocket and the damn rear axle is stuck. been beatin the hell outa it and it aint budgin. weird thing is is that i can turn the tire, and i can wiggle the axle left and right a lil bit so im not sure what its jammed up on. any ideas besides just keep beatin it?

I guess i'll state the obvious. Pound it back through like you were going to put the nut back on, and try again...

tried that. when i hit it from the side with the nut on it, it moves like 2mm, maybe. gonna try hittin it wit a heavier sledge hammer and a 2x4 and see if it works. any ideas on what it could be seazed up on?

Towlieee

it's probably bent

You ARE trying to beat it out with NO weight on the rear tire right?

And you are making sure to lift the rear tire so it can 'slide' out?



Also if its this hard to come out, DONT put it back in... It's bent or something else is bent, once you get it out, figure out whats wrong, do NOT reassemble it or you could end up with a bigger mess in a few months

And if your beating on it, I hope your either using a punch, or beating on it with the nut on the end, DONT BEAT THE THREADS! Just had to replace my frineds 600rr axle cause he beat the threads to ****

was beatin it with a rubber mallet and the nut on. gonna try a heavier hammer with the nut on and a 2x4. hope to hell it aint bent. guess ill see when i finally get it out of there. anybody got an extra rear axle for an 05 cbr1000rr?

Sounds like its really dry and possible bent. Spray some WD-40 on it. Thread the nut back on it a couple of threads and hit it a few times. Then tap it back the opposite direction. and repeat untill you can get it out.

just go ride it

wish i could, but hard to do with lil nubs for a rear sprocket

thanks for the help. gonna try again to get it out tonight after i get off of work and see if it all works out. worse comes to worse, will have to bring it in to honda to check it out. hate for that to happen, never brought the bike in before and dont want to start now.

**** a rubber mallet. a socket extender and a steel hammer to hit it with is what you need.

sounds like its just REALLY dry...i had one at work do that, sprayed it down with lube and let it set for awhile then just beat it out
check and make sure its not bent and then put grease on it when you go to put it back in, makes it easier to get in and easier to remove when you have to pull the wheel again

burnoutnut

this works..... it took me an hour to get mine out coz it was just really dry

wd-40 and hitting it like shoyass said and it will eventully come out

IF your axle is that dry, and you want to reuse it, MAKE SURE you lube it up GOOD..


Also if your axle doesn't slide easily cause it has build up on it, you can use a fine grit sand paper (600 or finer) to sand the axle to remove some of the build up
