AXLE SHAFT, REMOVE/INSTALL
Remove

can slide freely out of the fork. The front wheel(s)
should still be resting on the ground.
3: Remove the front axle from the fork and support
the vehicle with jack stands.
Note: If the bearings were worn until they were
broken, then the shaft may have to be cut
out of the fork.
4: Inspect the axle shaft and holes in the fork for the
shaft.
•
If there is any noticeable wear on the shaft then it
should be replaced.
•
The holes in the fork should be round. If worn in an
oval then the fork should be replaced.
Install

the axle is the same height as the front wheel
hub.
2: Assemble the bearing spacers into the front
wheel hub and place the front wheel(s) into the
fork.
3: Insert the axle into the front fork.
4: Lubricate the bearings.
5: Install the axle nut(s). Refer to Adjust Front
Wheel Bearings section for information regarding
tightening the front axle.
