I am tearing my machine down and 3 axles came out with no trouble. Two were hard to get out (I had to use a puller) and the last one is still in there. My father held two pry bars behind the sprocket and I used a puller but it just didn't want to come off. I am letting it soak in PB Blaster tonight and will try again tomorrow or Monday but wondered if you guys had any tricks to removing it more easily?
Mike, if it is stuck in the bearing unbolt the bearing from the body and it should come out of the body, then you can put it in a vice to get the bearing off.
No, that was going to be my next plan of action but I am a little hesitant to use heat so close to the tub. If I have to go that route I guess I could always put a piece of metal under the axle and just check it from time to time.
Hopefully soaking overnight in several coats of WD-40 and PB Blaster will help some. I may apply a few tomorrow as well since I probably won't have time to work on it and see if that helps.
