Unfortunatelly it was not the case for me, as it was totally corroded in. Tried the same thing but in the end i had to use a hammer and had to go full gorilla on it to remove it.

Yes, i ended up doing the same thing. Axle 20, nut 10 quid. I dont really get why anybody wouldnt grease these up, it takes about 5 minute to do.

Hi all, I am trying to split my engine to change the main bearings after i bought it as i think it sat for a long time. The manual suggests to lay the engine on a pile of rags, and start hitting it softly with a hammer. It Plit to about 1 cm, but it stopped and it wont move anywhere from there. Is there a better way to get it to split? Am i missing something? Its supposed to be a 2004 sherco 250 but when i removed the cylinder it said 0.3L so i dont know.

Yes of course i was not going full gorilla on it . At this point i wouldnt even care if i have to buy a new one, they aren't that expensive.

Not yet as i don't have a heat gun, but i will buy one to try that. I was thinking about the corrosion too because i spent about 10 minutes trying to get the rear wheel axle out as well.... The bike is in good condition otherwise but I think it has been sitting for a couple of years. Thank you.

Hi, i am trying to take the engine out. The last part i need to remove before i can take it out is the swingarm axle, but its stuck. I checked the sherco dissasembly manual and in there it only said "remove swingarm bolt". Am i missing something here or its just rotten in, and if it is can someone point me in the right direction what can i do?
