Any of you guys have some Tips for a 1985 Tecate axle removal? Changing bearings and sprockets and this is the first time for me removing this axle. Wheel hub is off, axle nuts are off, front sprocket and chain off, brake is off, axle doesn’t want to budge easily that’s for sure. Took the bearing carrier and axle loose from the swing arm. Getting the carrier to creep down the axle little by very little...

Got it loose.
I’m sure a lot of you guys have your own ways of getting an axle loose (that hasn’t been loose in 35 years)...but since there was over 50 views and no replies, I’ll just say that a can of Kroil and a rubber mallet worked great for me!
