I also have removed quite a few axles, just had the axle out of one of my quads last weekend. I have never had one stuck but you did give some good advice for those with poor maintenance or lack of routine maintenance.Originally Posted by on the rocks
Current quads:
- Honda TRX 400EX - fully built 416cc motor and full XC racing setup for fast trail riding and hill climbing
- Kawasaki Prairie 650 - work quad for around our property and main quad for the wife to ride
- Suzuki LT80 - kids quad
- Honda TRX 350RX - my old school hybrid MX quad from the 90's that has a 250R chassis with a built 350X motor and has now been converted into a XC setup
Previously owned several other sport quads and a few trikes over the years.

Honestly if it didnt come off by pounding it a bit some PBlaster and a torch is where you go. Pounding it more only served to break it, dont weld it buy a new/used one.

i'd buy a new brake hub. when it comes to pounding those off, i usually take a piece of wood, like a 2x4 and put it up against the brake rotor hub and then pound it, that way your leverage is on the center of the hub not on one of the ears.

LOL dude im far from inexperienced.
Mine comes right off because I take care of my stuff and rebuild it WAY more often then I probaly should.
If yours doesnt come off without a hammer, your doing something wrong or dont take care of your stuff.
It slides on and off and is held on by a clip, it may need wiggling a bit but not hammering unless your "doing something wrong".
Just so you guys know, if you use antiseize or even grease these things will come right off in the future.

yea, you lean real fast how to work on junk when you work on your friends/other peoples 4 wheelers. That's how i learned to deal with it. i have my wheeler lubed so the axle could be out in minutes if need be.
working on your own stuff is nice because you can maintain it and know the condition of it. other people that pay to get stuff done usually don't maintain stuff very well, or if its a new to you 4 wheeler. all the rear bearings i do get a good coating of grease going back together so next time it has to come apart it will easily.

Right beside my tools is a plastic jar of Permatex Anti-seize and grease with Moly in it. I'd say that when OZ-T puts its back together it will have a good coating of both.
