450 Rear Axle

[Neu529]

I have a 2013 SXF and I just bought some aftermarket axle blocks. The problem is that the left axle block is pressed on the axle. Has anyone ever pressed it off? I cant find an aftermarket axle anywhere.

Thanks

i seem to remember my 12 being on there tight but i didnt think it was pressed on.  I tapped on it with a hammer when i had to drill the axle for SM sliders.  are you 100% its pressed on and not just a tight fit?

It isn't pressed on it's threaded. Heat it up and unscrew it (it may have Loctite on it).  I know this intimately as I've developed a new axle block system for KTMs which you'll hopefully be seeing in the future.

ride engineering. sells a kit for $100. its a Honda 450 axle with the ride blocks. just gotthem and it makes it effortless to line up your wheel/chain. imo on a ktm a must have

Does the kit come with the axle for $100? 

[mxboy2661]

yes it does, and washer and lock nut. imo we'll worth it! no its so simple to make sure yo wheel is aligned perfectly and it is a liitle blingy!

Ur wrong about being pressed in. Mine are threaded in.

I bought the bolt axle blocks and they came with everything. U need a vice to help remove the original axle block...
