1. Reinstall the axle holder/nuts on the right side that you removed, but don't tighten.
2. Insert screwdriver or rod through axle on right side, hold axle stationary, remove axle nut, lock washer and flat washer on left side.
3. Use soft mallet and tap axle toward right side and catch spacers as they fall out; pull axle from hub.
4. Assuming you plan to reinstall the wheel and spacers. The notched spacer goes on the left side with the notches facing the wheel hub; the right side spacer is not side specific. Use anti-seize on the axle.
5. When the weel is reinstalled. the axle nut is torqued to 50-55 ft. lbs.
6. The axle holder nuts are torqued to 132-180 in-lbs.
7. Buy the HD Service Manual and read it before starting work.
Good luck with your project.
