200s front wheel remove??

[bigred1]

so i have the clymer book and i loosened the 4 small nuts and unscrewed the axle as far as the threads allowed but i cant pull the axle out it seems seized in the wheel. any ideas on this?

[bigred1]

any ideas? bigger hammer/torch??:naughty: or could i be missing a super secret set of threads? i took the front axle out of the 200m same way and it came right out

Is it starting come out but stops? I have had the axle rust to the spacers before, I think I held the axle in place and broke the spacers free with a pipe wrench, it was a while back but I remeber it being a pain to get out.

no... the wheel does not move on axle at all (it will spin but no side to side movement) i think my rim is prety much lost now, i thought if i hit the rim it would come loose but not yet after work i'll try the pipewrench idea but i think thats crazy that the sledgehammer did'nt budge it that rust must be like a weld.
