Worksman wheel axle

[razerface]

I need a longer axle in the front of a worksman wheel. The forks need to be wider to give room for the brake to be fastened. I beat on the axle with a dead blow hammer, but it did not budge. How does that sucker come out?

There are no retaining clips or rings. I smacked it a few more times, but it didn’t move. Does anyone know what is inside that wheel? I want to hit it harder but,,,

Nobody has had one of these apart? I really need to know if i am going to break it by pounding on the axle

You need a bigger hammer!  lol


John, watch this video, it shows how to take it apart.  I'll collect my consulting fee next year in Portland!

I got it apart 20 minutes ago. I gritted my teeth and hit it hard! It made a cracking noise and came apart. I guess the bearing was just stuck. The axle is not straight. It has a bigger dia in the middle, forcing the bearing to come out with the axle instead of a simple spacer inside.

Thanks for the video Rick. I will watch it too.
