The problem isn't going in, it's getting out and getting the sleeve off the axle lol

 

[WV98YFM350]

I wondered how you were gonna use it side ways 456123...I punched a bearing and the sleeve off with a chisle and hammer after I pressed the axle out, the sleeve slid right off man! Getting the axle out was the trick...easy cheesy from there! Alex, your trick is not recommended for this application as serious bodily injury may result!!! things are known to break and or bust under hydraulic pressure!! User beware and use extreme caution!!!!!!

 

[Jordysoso]

How did you press the axle out? I'm about to just take the whole axle/carrier off to figure this out. I have to put a new brake rotor on anyway. Hopefully the sprockets and **** aren't frozen on the splines.

 

[WV98YFM350]

all my stuff was freed up except my axle was froze in the carrier bc it was froxen to the bearing on the rotor side. Yes, take carrier and axle off of the bike and take it to your local favorite mechanic. He should press it right out for ya!

Yea and the 26th is my girls weekend to work, so that wont work bc the baby isn't big enough to ride yet lol! Luckily all my splines are well greased as I am sure to do it after a day of mud or water riding bc its just good preventive maint. I bet after this you will take care of everything back there better to save yourself the hassle of fighting with it next time! I know I will! Be sure to put hub nut down flush on the sprocket side of the axle b4 pressing on it soas to not eff the threads up...Even if rotor hub is froze, can still replace the rotor with hub on the axle

 

[Jordysoso]

Marine grease or normal wheel bearing grease??

 

[WV98YFM350]

I packed the new bearings with marine grease and filled the carrier up with wolfs head and zerked the carrier... did ya get the axle out???

 

[Jordysoso]

I'm gonna work on it tonite, I've been working and goin to class.
