rear axle nut

[Guest BIGGERJIM]

hey yall

 

i was trying to get the rear axle nut off my v11 to grease the u-joints

and i can't seem to get the axle nut loose, i pure lifted the rear of the bike up

trying to break it loose.

i hope the bearing have survived the incredable torque they have been under

is it normal for them to be this tight.

is there something i'm messing beside the big axle nut.

 

thanks

Did you remove the little rubber plug and put an allen wrench into the right side of the axle?

Have you tried shocking it .... ? (sharp tap with something heavy on end of spanner/socket)...better than torque for loosening overtight/seized nuts...

i even tried the impact wrench while holding the allen wrench on the other side

is there a pinch bolt i'm not seeing

i picked up the back of the bike with a pry bar on the wrench.

boy lubing them u-joints are gonna be a pia .

I would try heating the nut with a torch. It may have been assembled with loctite red. If that doesn't work, I would try even more heat. Be careful with the paint on the swing arm.

Good luck, I think you will get it off.

Cheers,
