    Stuck front Axle of 1985 125M

    Hello All,

    I'm attempting to tear down the front wheel and brake assembly for my 85 125M. However, I have gotten everything else disassembled, but I am stuck here.

    Can anyone tell me how to remove the front axle from the housing/Panel?

    Also, my untrained eye thinks that these shoes are shot. Can anyone with a trained eye confirm?

    Unless you're on a very tight budget...toss the shoes. $35 will get you front and rear at G&H discount ATV supply.

    As for the axle....try to avoid beating it although I have had to do it. Soak it liberally and repeatedly (sometimes for a few days) with a good penetrating oil like Kroil or PB blaster. You may even have to put a little heat to it. You might also try soaking it in a bath of Evaporust for a day or two. Be patient, it was put in there....it'll come out.
    I was born and raised on Venus & I may be here a while.....

    This and I wanted to add that if you beat the axle end use a block of wood on the end so you dont damage it
