Hello everyone,
I need some help i am restoing a scrambler and the three lug rim adapters will not come off they seem to be compleatly Frozen on to the axles. I have tryed heating them up with a propane torch to expand the metal on the adapters and then using a puller to pull them off the axles but they will not budge

PLEASE HELP

Thanks damen

Damen, where are the pictures of your argo?? I still would really like to see some more especially of the engine, and the drivers section a bit closer. You were going to send me some but didn't get a chance

TO ALL: How do you know if you have a bent axle. My one front right tire on my argo is wearing in a very funny way. It only wears on the outsides not the middle. The inside part moreso than the outside part. This is very evident when you look at it. If you go to the link, there is a picture of my argo and you can tell me then if it is bent.

david k, lookes like low tire presher caused it, well prehaps misalined bearings are turning it untrue but i don't beleave that's the case here, if your axle was bent you should feal it, also anyone who sees you rideing the trails ect..ect.. would stop you and tell you, it's verry easy to spot.
