    No, probably not. Axles threads have a bad habit of corroding to the fork leg. Get a helper, a 1/2 inch breaker bar with a cheater handle on it and a torch. Heat the part of the fork leg where the axle goes in to it. Have your helper hold the front end and put the breaker bar on the axle. Try going in the tightening direction first then loosen direction. Steady pressure on the breaker bar.

    dont forget to loosen the 4 - 10mm bolts on the cap
    with the 'up' mark that pinches the axle bolt too.

    I just went thru He*& with mine.

    pretty sure it was parked in salt water.

    free manuals in he 'world class help' section btw

    but the real tricks come from members.
