YZ Cruiser rear wheel remove

[JtownJoe]

Hi I have 38" yz series 20001 yard cruiser & can't get rear wheel off. I have removed snap rings & etc. but it seems frozen to axle. I have been spraying with PB Blaster for a few days, any other suggestions?

There are a lot of ways people get the wheels off most ways do damage to the transaxle.
The way I do takes a little bit of work but you will not break anything.

Take the transaxle out and set it on two saw horses with the transaxle in between the two being held up by just the wheel take a block of 2x4 put it on the axle shaft and hit with a hammer.

Do not try and hammer the wheel off by hitting the back side. You could break the snap ring that holds the axle in place.

Hi, Thanx so much for the input. I'll follow your suggestion, I didn't realize it would be so difficult to just take off a rear wheel!

Sometimes they just fall off other times they will give you a good fight.

If your just going to put a new tire on that wheel you can do it without taking the wheel off.
