front axle GT750

Post by Marvin »

Good Afternoon
I don't have a service manual yet and was wondering how to get the axle out of front wheel on GT750 ? I have the wheel off but the axle seems like something is holding it in place snugly. I don't want to hit on the threaded end as I'm not sure I will break something.
Thanks for help,
Marvin

Welcome
The wheels, front and rear, have a spacer between the wheel bearings, over time the axle can get stuck from corrosion, you may need to hit it to get out. I put a thin coat of grease on the axle when reinstalling.

I gave it a whack with a piece of hard 2 x 4 and then I was able to get it out.
Thanks for the help.
Best Regards
