Front axle reinstall hang up. All tips welcome!
10/14/12 at 22:49:06
Recently took the front wheel off to do a little polishin', and now cant seem to get the threaded end of the axle to seat and tighten in the fork.
things to consider:
I have the bike on some 4x4s as suggested by another thread.
The front fender is still on the forks
I have the spacers in correctly. I think... (oreiented so the flange side is to the fork)
Anything Im missin here?

Are you putting it in from the correct side. I don't remember how, so I'm just guessing.

check you got the disc between the pads.
even if you had the spacers wrong, it'd go in.
the spacer with the big end goes on the disc side.

Thanks I'll take a look. I missed that the spacers are different.

If youre still having problems, pull the axle out of the wheel & put it in the forks & Prove to yourself you Can put the axle in. If that works okay, then look for what is restricting your wheel's movement, why cant you get it lined up? Thats how I solve irritating hassles like that,

Check it for axe dents.
