tri moto 125 axle wont come out

[42F67N]

I am trying to get my axle out to replace the bearings and it wont come out i have everything removed off the axle tried to heat it a lil bit hit the end with a block off wood and a hammer no luck.

standing behind the trike and trying to drive the axle out to the left"sprocket side" is this right or what cause it wont budge

[brapp]

yry puttign and old deep socket thats the size that fits over the axle splines and catches the collar and rive it off with a sledge hammer, just be careful the socket doesnt break and destrou the threads on the axle.

its stuck lol wont budge this is my last trike last 4 ive had all had the axles stuck in them why dont people do basic matinence and change there damn bearings:mad: :mad:

Also, try loosinging the brake tensioner the whole way back off. Sometimes the brakes grab and hold the axle in place.

People dont do maintenance because it's easier not to, when i replaced my bearings on my atc110 it was a 4 man job that took several hours, and in the end - some cutting!

the tri moto has a disc brake and its all removed i have everything removed from the axle and still no luck ,last time i had a problem like this on my 125m i wound up wrecking the axle banging it out :(

[brapp]

ok, take a drill and drill the bearings itself out, and then just smash and crach the bearign apart, and slide out the axle, then just cut off the races of fthe axle and knock out the outer races from the carrier

welp tried to pound the axle out a lil harder and the rear carrier cracked and broke &^%^$%$%$% tri moto

[Unclediezel]

Those carriers are real cheap and all over e-bay. Dont lose any sleep over it. If it was that hard coming out, carrier would have been toast anyway.

And by the way-if it makes you feel better, according to Haynes- Yes it comes out the left-"sprocket" side

[42F67N]

this bad boy was stuck bad,after i had the whole rear out i tried to slam the axle off the concrete floor and it didnt budge at all

[brapp]

if you need parts, make a list and i will see what i can get from my source. and se ewhat kind of pric ei can get.

[42F67N]

Thanks brapp but ive acually got a friend down south that has one and hes sending me all the parts for free :)

Is this the one with the 175 forks- Is that a bolt together swap? Were you able to keep the front brakes? Im finding My 125 to be all Tires off the slightest bump, Dropped the pressures a tad, it helped but I cant "Empty" them.

[42F67N]

yes its a 125 with 175 forks and yes * can use the front brake :) ive only rode it one time for like 5 mins before i started to restore it so i really cant say how good it rides but having front suspension was a noticable diffrence.
