removing axles
#1
i been trying to get my axles outta my rearend to change the bearing but i can't get the bolts loose,i bought a set of spanner wrenches for those special bolts or what ever there called but there really tight is there an easy way of doing this and if not how do you guys get these apart?

You said bolts....Do you mean nuts???? I am not fimiliar with your trike so I am not sure how there are set up. If they are the two nuts on the axle by the swingarm....put a little heat to them with a propane torch.......Keep your wheels on the ground and have someone hold the brakes while you break the lock nut loose(the outer nut)

the bike is completely stripped i just need to gfet the axles out,could i maybe clamp it in a vice and heat the nuts that way?They look like big washers with slots in them i know you need a spanner wrench to get them off i have a set of those the problem is i just can't turn them cause there really tight,is it alright to use heat on the axles,i'm replacing the bearing anywyas so i imagine it'll be fine.

The vise will be fine, just do not bend the axle()that takes a-lot!) Heat the nuts in stages....heat and try then heat more....ect.
you will not hurt the axle until you start to turn it red......which you can not do with a propane tourch
