rear axle: getting bearing house off

[yamahardr15]

I have gotten the rear axle out of my 400ex and got the hub with the disk brake off and now there is one more little hub or piece that has to come off before the housing will come off. So my question is how does this piece come off?

[drew416ex]

there is a snap ring that holds the brake caliper bracket on. Take it off and then you will beable to take it out.

[yamahardr15]

I don't see any rings that could pull it off. any other solutions>?

ya.... i'm gona go with a definate i've never seen that before :huh:confused: at least mine dont have one, and the last time i checked it was a 400ex......

[yamahardr15]

well thats actually the hub that is under the brake caliper cause I sawzawed that part off cause it wouldn't come off so now I guess I'm gonna have to cut this part off too

[hondaking52]

o ok i gotcha now..well you could get a punch and try to pound it off, and lube the snot out of it, or you could cut it off to ;)

[maynard22]

You have to back that nut off so far before you expose the snap ring they are talking about.

yeah ill second that. the ring is underneath. once you back off that nut you can get the snap ring off and then pull the nut off all the way. i had the same problem and got pissed but thats how it worked out.

[hondaking52]

he's already got the axle nut off guys.....

[yamahardr15]

well we used a cutting torch and I was able to get it off without damageing the axle!!!!

[hondaking52]

nice!!!!:eek2: i was lookin at mine, in ur pic did you weld those rod lookin things on there? cant see em on mine

[yamahardr15]

I didn't do any welding on them thats actually the 2nd piece thats under the rear disk brake hub, its actually one piece pressed onto another so when i cut the first layer off thats what was under it.
