I All
I am trying to remove all my axels (2000 MAX II)and all I have left is my center ones. I do not see any set screws or any other type of retainer clips on the triple sprocket assy on the axel. I was able to release the axel form the inner bearing retainer but the triple sprocket assy will not budge. the axels are not corroded.
Please can any one give me some advice on how to remove it?
Thanks
Larry
Scrape the sides clean to the axle and check for a snapring. 2000 has a chance of being a very early snapring axle. I've seen the center with a springs and the corners screwed. If not scrape hard between the sprockets for a setscrew. There's something lust not sure what holding the axles.
msa, i have a 2000 max 2 and just removed the center axle triple sprocket. mine had a top set screw then another one under that. not sure yours is the same.clean it well, sometimes they are hard to see. hope this helps. john boy va.
Hi John
I found it after cleaning it real good. it appears that some one has ground the set screw flush. and drilling it out is not going very well at the moment. If all goes well I will have it drilled or cut it out tomorrow. the #60 sprocket for the center drive wheel is AFU so I need a new assy anyway.
thanks

Dang, you sure have been fighting set screws! Reading your accounts do teach me/others what to be aware of though. Good luck on the rebuild.

Yes the set screws are kicking my but. I plan on using grade 8 bolts and safety wiring them to the sprocket and I will also use plenty of antiseize. The idea of a double set screw with the top one ground down flush with no choice but to drill them out is just plain foolish IMO.
