I have a 2004 XB12s. We are trying to change rear tire but the axle will not come out. Does anyone know to solve this problem.

You might want to check this topic in the knowledge vault. There have been many posts on this subject. It is easy to damage the bike if proper procedures are not followed.

Have you loosened the pinch bolts on the swingarm's underside?That axle won't move until you do!

A little heat on the threads?
PB Blaster penetrating oil on the threads?

Try everything but extreme torque.

When you get it out make sure to put anti-sieze on the threads and shaft.
