[QUOTE="superfuzz, post: 945452, member: 20854"] I had a b*tch of a time getting the axle out when I took the wheel off. It tool a lot of cursing, a wood dowel and a BFH to pound it out the first time. Once it cleared the final drive, it slipped right out. No rust or other corrosion to explain. Now, I'm trying to re-install the rear wheel and I'm having the same problem, just in reverse. Axle slips right through the wheel and when it hits the spacer sleeve, it stops. I've tried slightly changing the position of the wheel everywhich way trying to get it to slip in just right but no dice. It's almost like the spacer sleeve that slips in the final drive side has an I.D. that's .000001 inch too small or something. I don't really want to pound it back into place because I don't want to f-up the threads and it shouldn't be this hard. REALLY, REALLY frustrated right now. I'm hoping there are some sage words of advice out there..... [/QUOTE]
