Stuck Axle Removal

[micmac]

Mike,

I feel your pain! Give the pb and wd a couple of days to work in there. I got desperate and just cut the axle in half. This being your last option. I know you had mentioned that you will be replacing an axle if this is the one I'd just cut and be done!

Thats whats nice about working on a Max, you can always get parts easily for them since they're still in production. I try to be super careful not to break anything when Im working on an Attex or Hustler since I cannot just go down to the factory and buy new parts for them.

Jeff, keep in mind I can make anything you need.

Well, I have been busy working on the Max and forgot to give an update. After a couple of hours of PB blaster, slide hammer, heat, and headaches I finally cut the sprocket and then slid the axle out. Once I got it out I finished cutting the sprocket tube off. I was going to get new sprockets anyway so I just wish I would have done this to start with.

By he way, look what showed up today from Recreative Industries! A big thanks to Dan and the crew at RI for taking the time to help me find all of the right parts that I needed and for taking the time to answer any questions that I had. I couldn't have asked for better service than that plus everything was packaged very well!

It was like Christmas opening all of this today
