I need help with my 86 200x rear axle

[outtaline]

I can't get it out got the nut off can't get the sprocket hub off or get it to move need help yeah I know I'm a certified Ducati tech but they didn't teach us a thing about trikes or quads so all I know is from the swing arm up I'm just glad they trained us on 350x engines

Remove the clip and nut then the brake hub and slide it out. It maybe rusted between the bearings, in that case you'll have to do abit of hammering. The sprocket hub also has a clip and can be a real pain to get off, but you shouldn't need it off to remove the axle.

the sleeve that the nut tightens onto won't budge its like its welded even got out the hot wrench and pb blaster and no luck so I guess block of wood and BFH unless there is something else

You did get the clip off, right? If so, heat the sleeve and tap the axle using a block of wood.

I guess I just need to hit it harder and get it hotter. How far you live from Fort Myers

I had the exact same problem with my 86 200x. I ended up using lots of pb blaster (although now I have kroil and would recommend it) and heat. As mentioned above, if you have the nut and clip off then use wood if you can, it was pretty tight for me getting around the brake hub to the left edge of the threaded sleeve. The only way I could get the threaded sleeve off mine was to use a blunt metal punch on the left edge of it one hit at a time and then rotate the axle and do that until it came free. It took me a while to get it off. It did chew the left end (closest to the carrier) of the sleeve slightly but I was able to clean it up and it didn't affect me when I put it back together.

How hot can I get this thing with it being on the axle

I heated the sleeve for a minute and would make a few hits and then do it again. Every so often I would soak it with pb blaster and let it sit for a few and then start the process over again.

I use oxy acetylene annd get it 100% cherry red, flaming hot, melting all the orings kinda hot......

Im closer to Pensacola.
You should be able to hit the axle on the right end and push the axle through the hub.
