Last option, really

Yes, "C" is a flanged spacer. Sounds like it's rusted to your axle. You might try grabbing it with a pair of vise grips and rotating it against the axle to try and free it up. You are probably going to need a new axle at the very least, so cutting is likely a good option as well. Yeah, I think cutt...

By the way, by the looks of arrow "A" I'd say your pounding has started to spread the swingarm. This is not good because the two sides become misaligned causing further binding. I was afraid of that. Not having taken one of these apart though, I wasn't sure if that was normal or not... I'll start t...

Re: Two weeks later...

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's installed from the wrong side. Once again "THAT SAID" use vise grip pliers on the SPACER then turn/twist that axle. The pic shows that the axle will come through the wheel so what's the big deal to realize that the axle is rusted/seized to the spacer??????????????. .............

Re: Two weeks later...

The axle is installed from the wrong side. That said I recommend you put some/more penetrating fluid on the spacer and adjuster. Grip the spacer with vise grips and put a rod or something in the hole in the axle and make these parts move/twist/turn. Add what amount more of the liquid and continue m...

Looks like the chain adjuster is holding it fast.Did you try putting a punch in the hole in the axle and spinning it to see if it will pop free(it might be seized) or try wiggling the chain adjuster up and down to free it up.Maybe the chain adjuster wore a groove in the axle and is stuck on that an...

Two weeks later...

... and still no joy. I went from a plastic hammer to a claw hammer to a one pound mallet to a five pound sledge, and still, no significant progress. I've attached two files of the right hand side. I'm banging on the left hand side trying to get the axle out, and its almost acting like there's some ...

What's the trick for the rear axle?!?

Hi all, Tried taking the rear wheel off my 67 CL77 last night. I've read two manual entries and both of them say the same thing: "remove the cotter pin and rear axle nut" and then glibly state "Slide out the rear axle." Yeah... not in THIS lifetime. Having never taken one of these babies apart, I'm ...
