if u dont take #10 out first the axle will not turn whatsoever.

looky here

#8 is when u take your forks apart,u dont need that now.what smaller bolt are u talking about? there should not be any bolts on the left side of the bike(when your sitting on the bike) that have anything 2 do with getting the axle out.i have a 98 it might be differant,but all i have to do is take out that allen screw u did,then loosen and remove axle,everything is on the right side fork tube(when sitting on the bike).

ahha, thats not a bolt... thats the end of the axle it sticks out a little on the left side,and it does have a little hole in the middle of it but think its a tooling mark when they turned the axle on a lathe.

as for getting it off,i would try to hammer a smaller size socket on to the axle,use quallity sockets,perferably inpact sockets,and after u hammer that on ,use a impact gun, or just hit the handle of your socket the the hammer.if that dont work i could try to weld a piece of metal to the axle,or if u cant get to a welder,use jb weld,all u have to do there is get a piece of metal for your handle,then drill a hole in it and the axle,then use a metal screw to hold the handle to the axle,but before u do that mix the jb weld and put it on both parts and in the holes u drilled then put the screw in and tighten it then wait over night till it dries.

or i think u can take the forks off of the triple trees and then just pull the right fork leg off ???
