im trying to remove the rear wheel from my 2008 jmstar 150cc scooter but not sure how to. ive removed the wheel nut but it looks like I need to remove the belt and brake hub to get the axle shaft out. is there another way?

Welcome
The axle shaft should stay in the trans housing. It seems like the exhaust may need to be removed on many scooter. If you don't have a right side swing arm, or have removed it already, then the wheel may be frozen to the axle and required a bit of finesse and force to get it free.
I just had one off, came apart no problem. In fact the axle nut was not as tight as it should have been. Had the swing arm and exhaust off in order to repair the top right ear on the case in order to remount the swing arm and exhaust.

thanks. after looking at it again I realized the right swing arm is a separate piece and not part of a whole swing arm assembly. everything came apart great. any clue as to what the nut torque should be, mine seemed to not be very tight when I took it off

I do not know the correct torque, but when I reassembled mine, I stuck a pipe through the spokes to butt up against the shocks, and leaned a healthy torque on the breaker bar.
Not too tight to strip threads, but solid enough I don't think it will break loose.
But someone may know the correct numbers.

Torque it to between 80 and  ft pounds....also clean the threads and put a little blue loctite or nail polish on the threads...some people drill the axle and pin them also but I dont. I put the back breaks on using a zip tie so the back wheel dont spin. |

That trick about holding the brake on is SO simple, but few of us ever think of it! I now keep a heavy-duty rubber-band (actually a slice of a bicycle inner-tube) with me to apply one of the brakes so "Lil' Bubba" won't roll off the side-stand. Us old geezers used to vintage clutch n' gears cycles don't tend to remember these scooters will roll free and easy when parked... Thanks for reminding us about how simple it is to lock either wheel whenever it's necessary!Leo in Texas |

I have a Velcro strap I use for holding levers. But having the leverage of the wheel spokes and the shocks for a stop, easy peasy.
