Front Axle Bolt

[Gfrosty]

I'm trying to remove the nut and it won't turn either direction so I would like to know if the bolt is left hand thread or right hand?

Thanks that is what I thought but when it wasn't moving when I use a hammer thought I would ask if anyone knew it it was left hand thread not right hand as direction of travel could loosen if it was right hand maybe.

Did you loosen the two bolts on the lower clamp first?

I have the front wheel off and on a work bench, am about to take to my work to use an impact wrench cause a 2# club hammer on ratchet hasn't worked in both directions

We had one in my buddy's shop that was the same way. Somebody before had that thing coated with red Loctite and the gun was slow more than half way off.....he musta used a whole tube of the stuff........

Apply moderate heat with a propane torch (not trying to make it glow red), then soak it with penetrant.
ATF and acetone is a great penetrant.

I didn't get it off but did get the speedo working after using an impact at work the speedo insert popped out and I could put it back together right

I'm confused here.....How the heck did you get the front wheel off without taking the axle nut off and driving the axle out for the wheel to drop down ? (I just noticed you said the wheel was off)...........I am assuming you pulled the forks off to get this far?????

Also, Was the speedo cable still in hooked on when you, removed it?

Was this bike left outside for several years? Seeing as the speedo cable was frozen too. It's amazing you got the calipers off.....

Overdog, you'd leave the bottom clamps tight until you got the big nut off, it keeps the axle from spinning when you're breaking it loose.
