maph2 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 i've stripped the front hub down. is it just a case of removing the rear nyloc nut on the end of the axle and whacking the axle out? are they a pain to get out? i've given this one a couple of whacks but doesn't want to budge.

andyz Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I had to use a hydraulic press on mine. Came out with a bang. Might be worthwhile to leave the nut on (loosened) so the axle doesn't shoot out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heraldcoupe Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I always put them across the jaws of a vice, with the nut removed, then replace to provide protection to the threads. A few clouts with a 4lb lump hammer has the stub out easily, just unscrew the nut and it's all split. A few weeks ago I did a batch of 10 vertical links this way, no trouble getting any of the stubs out,Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maph2 Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 i soaked some wd40 into it and gave it a couple more whacks and it popped out. had to replace it with a new one from canley classics as there was a lot of scoring around the inner bearing area.

Piero franchi Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 The ones that just pop out are easy, the ones that dont, need the press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
