I recentley bought a 1984 200 ES. Want to remove the front axle and the damn thing is stuck (seized). I got most of it off. All that remains is the brake plate. Can anyone suggest what to do?

Heat up stuck area, Then get a long Aluminum or brass drift and continue tapping it out, and use plenty of penetrating oil, Kroil works wonders on stuck stuff.
You will cry, you will scream if you've heard half the **** I've seen.
Are you gonna get up and burn an X in your head?

Get a tight 6 point socket and an air impact driver and rattle it out... Even a bit of heat as mentioned earlier, and rattle it... DONT use a cheater bar and twist it, there is a good chance you will break it off...

Leave an old nut on the thread end. Set it upright in on top of vice that is srpread apart a little to let round end with the hole move down when you hit it. The bearing is more than likely seized as mine was. Use a GOOD rubber mallet and even double nut it to protect threads. I t will come out. Use the kroil as you hit it here and there. Good like. Hit it like it was a four wheeler.... lol lolOriginally Posted by northy208
