How's it going , recently one member put a thread up about his swingarm being stuck . some gave the advice to pull the whole axle with the swingarm and the wheel attached from the gear box . I asked if anyone knew for sure if that could be done and I didn't get any response. I'm sure many know that there are c clamps holding the bearings in place in the swingarm so they cannot be removed without removing the clamps. When it comes to the bearings on the other side of the axle I'm pretty sure they have to be pushed in from inside the gearbox and cannot be forced out the other way . if I remember correctly after I pulled the axle from the gearbox I had to push the bearings out the same way I pulled the axle due to the axle opening between the brake pads being to small to push the bearings out that way. The reason I mentioned the c clamps holding the swingarm bearings in place was to make the point of what would hold the axle bearings in the gearbox in place if they were able to just be pushed out with the wheel and all. I don't remember any c clamps between the brake pads holding the bearings in , I'm pretty sure the casting of the engine case doesn't allow for the bearings to slide through that way . either way would not be possible.
Can anyone verify this for me ?

Its hard to tell from the pics and diagrams.

Traditionally you press the bearing on the axle shaft, install a c-clip to hold it in place and then push/press it into place from inside the gear box. If you remove the c-clip you should be able to push/press it out from inside the gearbox but will probably damage the shaft seal when you do.

If you remove the c-clip you should be able to push/press it out from inside the gearbox but will probably damage the shaft seal when you do. Its the bearings that are pressed inside the transmission box that will give you the problem . when you have your wheel off you can see that there are bearings in which the axle slides through that are pressed into the left side engine case in the gearbox . these bearings do not come out with the axle when you pull it out. If you tried the push the axle through the other way there is a part of the axle that will not fit through the center of the bearings and therefore will not be able to be forced out that way . the bearings are on the other side of the oil seal. There is a hole in the gearbox on the other side of the seal that leads to the outside of the gearbox , this hole is to drain any gear oil that may pass the seal . there are also bearings behind that seal . and those are the ones that will give you the problem. |

Watch when he changes the axle in the vid . about 1min in . when he pulls the axle, the bearings are still in the case , and you see the fat part of the axle will not be able to be pushed through the center of the bearings . and those bearings have to be pulled out not pushed . so there is no way to pull the wheel off with the axle attached. I hope he didn't try to pound it out and break the case.

Probably a few variations out there. You need to check each one individually to see which one you have.

The funny thing is no one even bothered to ask him in the thread what size scoot he is working with . I was going on the assumption it was a 150cc. I went back to see if he had his scoot listed by his avatar but I didn't see anything. . |

I went back and looked at a pic of the swingarm he posted , and you can see he has 130/60/13 tires ,so he does have a 150cc. His gearbox and axle should be the same as In the video .
