Axle removal tool

My daughters could not get the front left axle out of one of our Conquests. The inner bearing simply would not let the axle go. They built an axle removal tool, test fit it on the rear axles, then tried it on the front.
Success, they got the axle out without breaking the inner bearing.

Yaayyyyyyy - Rock Doc lives! I've missed your videos and posts.
Ingenuity at it's finest right there - well done ladies.
Rock - your daughters have been 'raised proper'!

Take care

thats really awesome ...very creative young ladies you have . must be a lot of fun having them '' wrenching '' along side . nice tip for others that have the same trouble . johnboy va,

holy jumpin RD,i remember when they were just little gaffers riding in the argo with their sippy cups.good on them bud!

Doc, your daughters have grown up. It's nice to see they are still interested in Argo's and nice to see they are willing to help dad with the maintenance. By the way, the axle removal tool is a really cool idea.
By the way, how's that 27 horse Kawasaki engine working for you??

Doc I am going to Texas next week, I hope to get some excellent video, when am I going to see some more video from the Rock Doc????

Hi John, they are really saving my back, lol. Getting at those front axles is the worst:)
I do enjoy having them work with me, these two have gotten themselves into dirt bikes now and are maintaining their machines.

How are you doing plott? They are all driving the Argos now, and they are all very competent. I like to sit back and watch them figure out ways to get out of sticky situations. I try not to interfere unless their ideas start looking/sounding dangerous:ahhhhh:

Hi mm, they have indeed grown, they are a great help sometimes. Other times they are a cause of sleepless nights:laugh:

The 27 horse has been great, no regrets at all. That machine is low geared anyway. I rarely ever put it in low range and have even removed the shim in the primary clutch.
I am going to get back into the videos, plans have been made, lol.
I do have one little clip handy that I could post here. It’s just a couple Argo moments and a few clips of the younger girls at the track.

Yup good to see you're still around RocDoc. I recently refurbished my brakes with help from your video. Like the rest, looking foward to riding videos, kids got big and seeing you active here still.
