Default Raptor axle Removal

I am in the process of removing my axle and I am wondering how you get the disc brake hub off. Is it threaded or is it a spline. Or is it something different all together.

It has splines. I would highly recomend soaking it in penetrating oil and give it a few firm taps to break it loose. Mine has been really frozen on before. I tried getting it off before and it wouldn't budge, but after it soaked in WD-40 overnight it tapped right off.

if you are talking about the disc brake rotar, you do not need to take it off man. Unless you are replacing it. The axle should slide right out of all that stuff

Actually it's the brake rotor hub. The part that the rotor mounts on. The hub is seized to the axle and won't come off. I've let it soak in WD 40 and a couple other lubes all night and it's still stuck on there.

Well I got the axle out and now I have to get the bearings out. Looks like they wouldn''t have lasted too much longer anyways. Any good tricks for getting the bearings out. I have them soaking in lube now
