Hey all,
I was wondering if you folks knew any tricks to removing the front axle. I found a few sockets that lock together and lock in there pretty good, but I can torque it enough to remove it. So far I have busted two socket extensions with a long wrench trying to get this off. I have tried soaking in PB blaster and tired an impact driver. Also hit it with the torch although hesitant to really hit it because of paint and fork internals.
Is is threaded on both sides or just the opposite sides? Anyone have any tricks or ideas? I need to get this off because fork oil is way overdue for service.
Thanks
