I was working on putting on an extended swingarm this weekend and I ran into a little trouble getting the axle out of the carrier. To my surprise axle nuts came off real easy, but brake hub was nearly seized on the axle. I got it off after soaking it overnight in WD-40. When I tried pounding the axle out it moved about 1/4" and then it stopped. Any suggestions? I hate hitting it too hard.

 

I just soaked mine like you did, and then took the biggest hammer i can find and wammo finally came out, problem is obvious, moisture gets inside, then the inner steel sleeve, rusts , corrodes etc.

 

Yep, big hammer. Put the hub on and the washer to beat against and use an old impact socket or piece of heavy pipe to hit on.

 

Thanks guys
