86 200x front axle removal

[Aka_am]

Which way does it come out? Bearings seized over winter, got new ones ready to go and can't get that sucker out. I don't wanna mess it up either..HELP!

Regular thread, the spacer between the bearings seizes up as well as the 2 outside spacers do...........

my advice, loosen wheel, remove calipers, unscrew the axle, remove the blocks from fork and bring to someone who has a press. Once you get it out, clean the threads with a 14mm1.5pitch die or re-threading die. I have removed them, but destroyed the axle in the process.

What I meant is, does it come out the disc/brake side or the open side?

I'll make sure it comes out! :twisted:

[deathman53]

it comes out the open side.

Came out easy today, a bit of penetraing oil and some muscle :D
