Hey guys,
Another Newb question- I've gotta ask because I'm finding this bike is a conglomeration of different parts.
The rear axle is depicted in the manual as having a small nut, washer, then big (36mm, but very thin) nut on the drive side of the bike. My question, ( know this is probably dumb, but I dont want to destroy anything, so I'm making sure!) -- Does the axle pull straight out, or do I need to unthread it from the drive side first before pulling??? I can't tell if the "step up" in thread sizes is part of the axle. It doesn't appear to have any kind of separate threads in the diagram ( original parts book from 74).
I realize it's probably just seized up in there and I'm going to have to use a drift to get it out. BUT, I don't want to manhandle this if it's supposed to actually unscrew before sliding out. Any insight or secret-ninja axle removal tips would be appreciated.
Thanks!
