Ryan:
To remove axles, you take bolt out of sprocket and axle joint, remove set screws on the bearings, inside one may have two, outside bearing has a locking collar, to remove it, remove set screw and take a punch and turn outside collar until it comes loose. Sounds simple, but...... Sprocket may be rusted to axle if it is, try this: As on ROUTE6x6 HINTS section: I understand you may not be able to drive your atv as instructions say, but these ideas may help you.
------------------------------------------------------------
With all machines newer or older collectable AATV's. There will someday come time to replace the axle bearings. With a new machine this is an easy job, but with age comes rust and dirt.
I have been asked many times
"Richard how do I get the stuck sprockets off my axles"
To answer this one must understand what is wrong, As AATVS age rust will form between the axles and sprocket sleeves, this rust will seem to "weld" the two metal parts together. What we do is:
1) Clean out the bottom of the machine with hot water and high pressure.
2) Remove all axles to sprocket bolts or pins, do this on all axles.
3) Spray a WD40 type product all over sprocket, and the holes.
4) Let soak a few days, respraying often.
5) Drive the machine with out the axle pins or bolts. This will use the machines own power to loosen the sprockets.
6) As the sprocket brake loose do not reinstall that pin or bolt, this will force the other axles more.
7) Continue to drive untill all are loose.
8) Replace ALL bearings at same time.
9) BE SURE TO USE ANTI-SEIZE upon reassemble, Do not get this product on the bearings or locking collars.
Hope this gives you some help, we do stock most ATTEX parts
