I'm attempting to remove the axle to replace the bearings. I'm assuming it comes out to the left after removing the 2 nuts.How do you remove the nuts??? Or will it come out the other way? Please help I'm stuck and don't know what to try. Thanks Mike

 

Is there a trick to getting the 2 nuts off? Are they reverse thread? Thanks

 

Its a double nut hammer and punch the outer 1 loose

 

I dont understand punch the outer. If you mean try taking off the outer one i did and it wont budge pb blaster over night and gigantic pipe wrench the next day. I guess fire?

 

I've done a Honda 300 once which is probably about the same. Had 2 pipe wrenches, one on each nut. Might have to use a breaker bar on the outer nut, but that one is going to have to come off first. I'd imagine its all seized up. I dont think there is anymore to it other than breaking it over.

 

Thanks I guess i need to be more aggressive. I may have to use heat. I just dont want to break anything. Parts are not cheap if you can get them.

 

I do hundreds of Hondas and the odd Yam, and they almost always need heat, in fact I now Loctite the outer one to ensure they stay tight, (Honda 420 axles come loose with the nuts still firmly locked) and heat breaks the Loctite's seal. If they are rusted fast, the nut needs to be red hot before it will move.
