I removed the axle nut, caliper, rotor etc and the axle won't slide out. I tried tapping it out with a hammer and I still get nothin....

Nvm, I got it. There wasn't enough lube in it to make it just slide out so I nailed it with a baseball bat a couple times.

its good that you got the axle out but it would have been much easier to just loosen the carrier bolts. The axle slides right out after that.

I took the bolts completely out. There was just hardly any grease in it and the grease that was in there was all used up and hard...


(I trade the axle for a stock ATK 450 a arms, shocks (Ohlins), tie rods and a stock axle... Im makin it skinnier to race XC this year).
