Rear axle install not working
#1

Dear Abbey;
Is there some trick to installing that rear axle. I have it thru but on the
kickstand side I just can't get it to come out that extra ? 2 inches or so.
I have a feeling it is getting hung up on that bushing spacer and the caliper.
Wondering if there is a trick to this instalation ?
In my own mind I am thinking start the axle install from the show side
and also a ? secondary axle from the kickstand side and let the real axle
drive that secondary axle out . Haven';t tried this yet.

Done.
What a B.
This should be a two man job actually now that I did it, alone.
Rasing and lowering and pushing and pulling and checking. Took probably 4 hours of swearing.
I have to believe the final ? required adjustment is when I was leaning over pulling on the disc and hammering over the other sideat the same time.
Have fun if you try this alone ...
And the second axle idea didn't work out. Probably would if you had a second hand to hold it in place.
It pops out just when the real axle is almost there and everything goes unaligned again ...
