From this diagram it looks like the axle on my 1986 Moto 4 is one piece and needs to be removed from left to right. Is this correct? I have soaking with penetraiting oil right now and will be getting at those bearings one way or another this weekend. Anyone have any experience with this?

Heres a pic of a 86 Moto4, why does it look a different? its from this site OEM motorcycle and ATV parts from Honda, Yamaha & Polaris – Cycle Parts Warehouse

Looks like left to right to me also.

 

That is the 200 diagram - mine is a 225. Can I take a piece of wood and beat on the end of the axle a bit? Carefully of course?

 

As long as those two big nuts, #15 on yours and #13 on mine are removed,I,d say go for it. It may be stuborn after 26 year the axle may not want to leave its happy home. LOL

 

Those two are off - We will give it a go and see what happens. As I said, it is soaked with Liquid Wrench right now and I will be banging on it tonight. Thansk for the help
