I just bought my wife a 250ex and I'm trying to change the rear shoes. I have everything off that I'm supposed to up to the brake panel. I can't get it off. The rear axle came all the way out with it until the left hub met up with the diff. The good news is that the axle won't be hard to change and I might do that anyway while I have it apart because the left wheel is a little wobbly. I know it's the axle and not the hub because I put the right one on it to diagnose. Anyway, has this happened to anyone else or am I just missing some dumb little detail. Any help would be appreciated!
