There are 7 .....yes SEVEN bearings on the rear axle. The cumulative friction and slight springing of the swing arm means you will be flogging away for some time with a very big hammer in a restricted space to remove the axle. The tool I have made pushes it out without fuss or damage. 👍🤣

Here you can see the hammer marks where the “apprentice” was swinging the hammer trying to remove the axle and hitting the chair mount on the way........not my bike thankfully.

Well done Lee, I might just have to plagiarise your design as this is a real issue. Had to swing a 2kg hammer and a piece of hardwood to the extent that I became tempted to even remove the RHS snowman for a bigger swing. “Every” Ozzie GU owner will need a ‘pusher’ like that. Roadside emergency or home home garage job. Should put this in mass production Lee. I’d be the first one to put money down.

Is this another issue for Ural HQ?? and does it need to be addressed as part of the rear axle incompatibility or separately.
Tubeless tyres are looking good by the day.
Thanks for all your effort Lee. Nice work.

Cheers Lee, that information will save me having to turn up the shed radio to protect the neighbours first time I remove the wheel. Make another and you have a customer. Or a sketch with dimensions would be much appreciated, would give me something to do between now and November.

Just looking at design for a bit..Is it possible that the axle fit may have too much of an interference fit on the bearings, this perhaps being the root cause of having to pound the axle shaft out? I think I am right in assuming the pusher device is attached to the sidecar side. If so, does the universal yoke need to be removed? Finally, looking at the right side axle flange plate. Might a factory fix be introducing threaded holes so jacking screws may be used to pull the axle shaft out from the right, rather than push it from the left. Also, looking at bearings and assuming they are all prepacked with grease and sealed. Not in an oil bath? Looking for comment from the collective here.

Pushes on left side......nothing extra to remove. Right side.....puller or slide hammer is larger to carry and more dangerous.
Bearings all sealed and normal hand push fit. It is just the cumulative effect. 1wd can require persuasion as well.
