Default Deuce delima

I LOVE my Deuce made the mistake of selling it 12 years ago and bought it back last month. Lots of fixs. How do I remove the front axle ? Took the nut off and removed the cap from the bottom. Axle spins but wont drive thru ?

Tap the threaded end with a plastic hammer, it'll go. Sometimes they get caught up. Be sure and grease it when you put it back together.

Yeah, sometimes they seize up a bit in the inner bearing race. If you don't have a plastic hammer, a regular hammer with a piece of wood in between will do.
