Hey guys any ideas on what to do for a axle i cant get loosened? It looks like it has corroded onto the chassis. i've tried brute force and even took my heat gun to it a little to see if it would loosen it at all but no luck. Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks,

Russ

pick a drill bit about the same size as the aleen key slot, and drill just enough to break it.

WD40 followed by hammer. Stick a small screwdriver or ice pick in the inside of the axel and hit the other end with the hammer. Should come right out, or at least it has for me.

okay thanks i'll try this tomorrow. should i drill into the aleen key slot side or the flat side? it looks like the flat side is the side that is corroded badly.
