Rear axle bolt won't come out and chain won't stay tight?

[vladthetodge]

Hi guys!
Rear axle bolt is totally stuck in. Used 2 by 4 and a big hammer, penetrating fluid, allsorts and it won't budge. Also I've tightened chain to correct tension, locked it properly and tightened rear wheel to torque settings and five miles later the dam chain is slack again. Any ideas? From here it looks like I'll have to get a garage to press it out and replace bearings unless anyone got any ideas. Don't have a torch to heat it up.
Thanks

what bike is it??

you need an assistant but first when the axle nut is loose, do any of the wheel spacers turn on the axle meaning they are free and not seized to the axle.

also check brake back plate/caliper holder for the same reason.

when all these are known to be free, get your assistant to place a lump hammer against the swing arm as close as possible to the axle, on the side the axle comes out.

hold the lump hammer against the swing arm as tight as possible.

using a suitable size hammer and a brass drift, with the brass drift against the axle end, strike the drift with a good swinging blow, your arm forming an arc to gain the striking force. gravity and your arm weight/hammer weight forming the force.

did the lump hammer lift off the other end due to the shock or did the axle move slightly?

if it moved slightly, lub lub lub am tap the axle back in, then repeat, a bit by bit approach, be patient.

if no movement, then a bit more force.

don't forget to lub.

hopefully the axle is just stuck, and not well and truly corroded to the bearing inners and distance tube.

check with cmsnl to see if the bearings are held in with circlips....don't damage the hub.

steady as you go and report back. you have a heat gun or lone the girls hair drier.....

It's a daelim roadsport 125. The rear disc housing is directly after the rear axle nut. No spacer I can gather on other side by sprocket. Have tried a large hammer and bracing the swing arm. Scared it'll warp it if I hit any harder. I guess it's siezed onto inner bearing housing. I'll have another go on next day off but can't think of anything else I can do.

I had a problem similar to that a few years ago and the easiest solution was to cut the axle using a hacksaw.

Vladimir, I'm familiar with 125 Daelims. I recently took in a rescue VJ125 that had been abused and was in need of huge amounts of TLC.
You're not far from me and if you'd like to call round, I reckon that after some swearing, we'll probably be able to get the bugger free.

You are undoing the chain adjusters as well as the axle nut

Had the same issue with my sinnis stealth, there was no lube on spindle It had to be hacksawed off on both sides, which was a horrible task. Clamped wheel down on work bench, and it took a lot of sledge hammer abuse to get the remains out.

Warm it with tourch soak in rust remover, then you heat up later again and then use freeze spray before you hammer it out.

With a lot of effort the bolt will turn a little at a time, but it squeals. Don't think it's terminal
