Well I got 3 bottle jacks and gave it a shot and the hub still won't come off... So I decided to take the gear case cover off and to my surprise the axle washer is shattered... Could this be why I have so much play when I grab my hub and push / pull on it? Or did this happen when I was trying to pull the hub? I was originally pulling the front hub because the outter oil seal was leaking all over the inside of the tire. I have the manual and it says nothing about loosening that inside bolt on the gear. Question is, can I remove the bolt that holds the gear on and pull the whole axle out with the hub on as apposed to pulling the hub off? I'm going to have to replace that washer and the bearing anyway at this point.. If I take the bolt off that holds the sprocket on, how hard is it to get the sprocket and chain back on? Sorry, I have no idea how to upload pictures
