I have a pile of parts to put the front end of this bike back together and I am trying to get the steering knuckle off to change the bearings and ball joints. All went well until I tried to slip the axle out of the steering knuckle. Doesn’t want to budge. I am looking for a magical clip or something but don’t see it. Is it just stuck and in need of concussive therapy? I didn’t want to beat on it too hard until I consulted the almighty oracle that is the Can-amforum. Let me know if it needs a spanking or if its me that needs it. Never-mind my proclivities though just wanna know how to get this apart.
