so today i bought myself a 89 lt250r and i have run into my first dilemma i need to get the rear axle off so i can get it into my basement to work on i have the clymer manual and it shows locking nuts on both sides of the axle mine only had it on the left and i have no clue how to remove them it looks like my axle should slide out the left no like the manual says it says right any help would be great
take the nuts off the axle then you might need to tap sprocket hub off,
it might help if you can have someone sit on bike (big person) and have them hold rear brake.
then you get a pipe wrench or a cresent wrench with a breaker bar, if needed. and once you get all that off
get a block of wood put it against axle and tap it out through the carrier. dont forget to take
brake caliaper off
Yea that different design then stock it a push pull system. Take pipe wrench or whatever fits hold the bigger nut. Then use it to hold it and take another wrench and push up on the other nut. Keep doing that untill their enough room to take the circle clip out . Then that piece will slide off and you can remove the axle.
I take a not her
**** at it when I get home today so you think I should take those nuts off some how and then what push it out the side with the sprocket
The round nut that the bigger nuts are on is pushing against the sprocket.You have to figure out how the tension is on their. Once you get it released should be easy To take off. The round nut that both of bigger ones sit on you have to hold and then loosen the big nut as your hold the round piece once its it loose you will see a cicle clip then you pop it out and then slide axle out. That style on their can be impossible to get off if over tighten. When I first got my durablue axle. I got to tight and had to cut it. I suggest you buy the update version of that system. Its called posi locker from durablue and will run you 75 $. I can get you a part number for it later if you need it. Goodluck.
LT250RWV thanks so much a didn't see that clip until you told me to look for it after I got that out the axle slid out no problem do you think my axle might be aftermarket what's the stock axle length
Its a durablue aftermarket. Does it have any spacer around the hub area.
Yah there are like 2 spacers on either side a larger one and a smaller one
