Hey I am new to the forum and just bought a 2003 yamaha warrior yesterday. Ok I have pulled off the wheel and cannot take the Hub off the axle to replace the bearings. Is there something i missed? I thought that after I removed the bolts, tire, unhooked the front brake pad majig? Maybe it is rusted on or something? Suggestions please

Thank you, Austin

 

Good luck. I have been working on one also, heat it up and beat like hell. The seals go bad and let water in so everything rusts together. I have mine all apart except one bearing sleeve thats frozen solid to the axle, my next step is the grinder. Oh, I heated up the housing at each end and kinda melted the seals out, then kept heating and driving the end of the axle in the ground while holding the housing. It's the only way i could beat without messing up the threads.

 

how did you heat it up? setaline torch or something? and did you heat then hammer or how?
