Beat the wheels off?

On the Apex skid: How do the two large wheels on the top of the swing arm come off? Shouldn't they just slide off like the plastic bushings do?

Just tap them off with a hammer, put the suspension bolt back in the shaft and tap the head of the bolt and it should come off the shaft. Keep track of the spacer/washers when it comes apart.

Rocker,, what are you replacing them with.. factory - stock ones or anything else?

BE CAREFULL! If you beat then off too hard you could go blind. Glad you're back DAN!

sticking with stock 7"....i was considering 7.5" to allow more shock eye clearance but dont want to loose clearance at studs,so just going with stock wheels now.
