KellySS wins the prize for how to remove a stuck axle

Fred from MO · Apr 14, 2017

Kellyss's advice of using a port o power to remove the one stuck axle on the 60 wins the prize. I got one of those harbor freight 1 inch port o power jacks and fit it in the axle housing against a big piece of channel and used a socket to push the axle out. Beating on it with a pipe and a sledge was going no where except making it feel like my head was going to pop off my neck.

What did I win? Glad it worked for you also. The problem is the inner bearing be stuck on the shaft. I tried all the wedging and wiggling but it was just too tight. Funny thing is that the pulley side of mine came right out.

An adult beverage of your choice! Lol! No good suggestion. I was frustrated with this. Because like yours the clutch side came out easy!

I never had that problem as I do both side at the same time. Get them both moving out before you completely remove one of them.

Good for you. I'm glad you never had to deal with a stuck bearing.

I would have thought that the center on the axle made it difficult to remove...
