Paul Palmer Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 good grip not working , the other wheel cant see axle ,the axle has the pin on the outside of one wheel, it aint budging,paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 That's the same as most Britains of that era Paul... The axle pin is ribbed on one end and grips into a sleeve inside one wheel, like UH rear axles, the other end is just a knob on the end of the axle and hole straight through the wheel. If you can't get it off by good old fashioned brute force and ignorance, then use a flat had screw driver and pry between the end of the axle trumpet housing casting and the inside of the rim where the axle doesn't come through the wheel... If you rotate it a quarter turn or so each way a few times you should be able to ease it off.... alternatively don't be afraid of 'bending' the wheel to 'walk' it off the axle.... on the 5000's I really forced them, so it looks like your putting positive camber on the wheels, and each rib will slowly move to the next notch inside the sleeve until it comes free.... just keep pulling boss! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 spot on simon they are off but the front ones ?do i have to cut the axle? as axle is showing through both wheels i need these off to spray and cut off the front mudguards thanks again simon,paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Front axle has a straight through wheel with a push fit hub doesn't it? This time the ribbed part is on a stub sticking out the end of the axle though from memory \ Again, pull like hell or try to lever it out... you may have some luck with a flat screwdriver under the flange of the push in hub but there's a good chance you might damage both... try prying from behind again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yeah but you KNOW I'm right Marcus How did you get on with that anyway.... you might need to just give it another little tap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 well i thought i'd try it on a TW first & you know what it worked ! although not quite the result i need for a massey , another trick is like the tyres , warm the wheels up in a bowl of warm water , the plastic becomes a bit more supple to pull the ribbed bar from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure a Massey will stand up to it as well as a TW mate, you might need to be a bit more gentle on a red one, not built sturdy like a Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
