Ok, i'm finally going to tackle replacing the rear bearings in my 125m this weekend, and i figured i'd just do a rear brake job while i'm at it. The guy i bought it from last year threw in new brake pads. So the rear brake drum won't come off, so i did a search and basically i found out i'll have to drive the axle out to get the drum off, which i'll have to do anyway to do the bearing job. I'm doing this in my garage, and my question is what do you guys use to prop the rear of the trike up while you hammer the axle out? I don't have any jack stands or whatever you call 'em......any suggestions?

take tank off, plastics off, flip it upside down and your good.

Stick one of the rear wheels under the back of the frame. Built in jackstand since you gotta take them off anyway! :beer
