Sorry I’ve been out working with my live axle.. umm I can’t tell if it’s a shadow but the hole in the hanger is not bigger then the live axle bearing itself. it looks like the back 3 hole flangette is still on the bearing? Tap the flangette Off the back of each bearing. don’t try to move the bearing on the axle itself. I had to sledge mine off and buy new.

Flangette... I'm not in on this lingo so please bear with me silver bit on the wheel side edge?

If these are still on any side of either bearing whack them off the bearing Edit: (with a hammer). be carful if they pop off the axle might slide and wanna drop out unexpectedly.

I ran outta light a few hours ago, tomorrow I should have a little more time. I had it upside down so falling out wasn't an issue. Thanks so much, it really means a lot to have all this help. Things wouldn't be moving nearly as fast without you.

Do you have the inside and outside flangette on both flangette hangers off? If so that axle should of fell right out. you can watch cars and cameras 50$ live axle swap and get a good idea on those flangettes and the one guy even goes into a bit of a deeper explanation of how they hold the bearings.

The odd thing here is somebody (with no care for details) has taken it apart before and put back together. Both side's flangettes are wheel side (one fell off, the inner is stuck) and the right side of the hangers had locknuts, the other serrated flange nuts.

Edit. Watched part of C&C video, its set up like theirs, both flangettes on the side of the wheel. outer ones fell off, inner one are stuck.

took my brain a minute sorry! no that is correct like these two pictures. BUT I’m guessing now your dilemma is that both flangettes are mounted tire side on each hanger and only one flangette from each hanger will come off... so me telling you to not move the bearings is useless as you have to move at least one of those bearings for that axle to come out... hmmmm ya know I hate to bring actual bad news but one of those bearings might get replaced after it goes through whatever it takes to get it off the axle.

 

[Thepartsguy]

I don’t know if it matters but for re-assembly one set of flanges tire side and one set not. That way years down the road the bearings cannot hold the flanges in place. 6 bolts it all pulls to the left or right and just falls out.

That's fine. I'll probably end up getting new bearings, these are rusty and I want absolutely no rust on this thing. Aside from greasy areas like the chain and sprocket, I want shine, black and red on the whole kart.

Absolutely do not listen to the parts kid! Flanges need to be on both sides of the bearing. That is designed to work like that and load the bearing properly, not to mention proper bearing and axle retention to the kart!

Yeah having them both on a single side didn't give me the peaceful, easy feeling. A big hammer and a block of wood incoming. I'll let you know when I do something.

I said that and even posted a picture above?

Maybe you think I said to use only one flange per bearing? Onve you put the axle in the hangers the bearings would not be retained? I should have worded it better I guess? Once he has two Bearings on the axle and two flangettes squeezing each bearing just bolt one set of flangettes to tire side and one set of flangettes not. It does not matter the Flanges can and will bolt to either side of the hanger. @BaconBitRacing can’t remove his axle because both sets of flangettes were mounted tire side.

Yep that’s right, there was just some confusion. All resolved now.

 

[BaconBitRacing]

She’s free now! Thanks @Thepartsguy, I’ll probably be calling you again soon Lol.here’s my tools.

 

[BaconBitRacing]

Oh, and the bearing survived. This axle is surprisingly easy to get apart, nothing was very seized.

 

[BaconBitRacing]

Axle is set up for some wire wheel action. I’m probably going to be wire wheeling for the rest of today, lots of little things need work.
