We had two of them but sadly, they were not mine, they were a customers. But they are really awesome karts when you set them up right, you should check out my video adding a parking brake to them, it really adds to the safety of the kart, Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to comment we really appreciate you, be safe working on and riding your Go karts, be sure to like and subscribe, thanks again.
@@MechaniclifeJDM I took the motor off of mine to convert it to electric. I needed to get the axle off to get a different sprocket put there to tame some of the electric motor's torque and increase the top speed. My little bottle jack is broken, it turned out so I am hitting Harbor Freight Monday.
@@GunsGamesPlanes Sounds like a cool build man good luck with it, stay tuned for some new content coming in the near future, and if we could be of any help we would be happy to offer a different perspective if you would like one.
Work safely Expect stuff to let go, worst case you gotta cut stuff and buy replacements from BMI Karts, but before you resolve with that type of solution, just be patient treated with some PB blaster a little bit of heat, and some impact in the right places but not too crazy, use this jacking method and it will come off, just be patient
The first chance you get, because you can feed in more penetrating oil. You can also use an air hammer to help shock the assembly a little but do so very carefully to avoid damage, let me know how it works out. Thanks for watching and commenting, we appreciate you.
8 inch heat puller works to. Gonna go with that idea but yeah thanks for doing these videos cause was about to set all that rigging up and do it your way. Wheels to the dirt. Love this shit.....
@@MechaniclifeJDM I did! Had I kept it I can only imagine how much cooler it would be. I'm learning everything as I go and my skills have greatly improved!

Clean it up with some emory and PB Blaster, check for shaft collars behind your bearings or set screws on your bearing inner race, once those are removed if any are found start to work it back and forth tapping it side to side, clean up any additional rust or debris and then slide it out one way, will take a little work but it should come free, worst case you may need to heat up the bearing inner race a little bit, or cut it up and replace it, observe your safety precautions
Heat, treat and beat, then repeat! Be safe about this: heat only the hub area not too hot, deflated tire of course when it cools hit the hub/axle area with pb blaster multiple times Throughout a full day shocking it in between applications using a piece of wood and a mini sledge, then following my video it should come off
That's what up, I understand the concept right when you said your idea. Thanks for the info
Thanks for watching and dropping a comment as well.
what is awesome is I came here before I started and I see that you have a Yerfdog 32xx just like mine!

What size socket do I need to remove the nut. Is it 1 “1/2?
You are going to have to measure it bro
Currently have the same issue with a yerfdog 😂❤ thanks man

You're welcome
When do you remove the “key” in it?
The first chance you get, because you can feed in more penetrating oil. You can also use an air hammer to help shock the assembly a little but do so very carefully to avoid damage, let me know how it works out.

Will a small 2 ton jack work?
Might, just go easy.

Keep the rubber side down brother, thanks for watching, I sure hope you liked and subscribed!
Same issue. Im in the NC
what size was that bolt?
That I do not remember, but I believe it just has to be large but be able to fit through
That bad huh? Same kart? Where are you located?
I'd pay you to do mine. I've about figured I'm going to have to buy a whole new axle and wheel set up.
Did you ever get your kart sorted?

Cool. Now how do you get the axle out?

Decided to cut the tires off and put new ones on . Without pulling the rims off lmao
That works too 🤘
FML!
I got a wheel puller and they still won't come off

@@MechaniclifeJDM thanks 👍🏻.
