When you get ready to put it back(hopefully you have removed it) proper preparation is important. Clean both the threads in the fork and the axle with a wire brush and something like brake cleaner. The same with the other end of the axle and the hole in the fork, then use anti-seize on both ends. When I have my axle out I polish it first before installing. Its anal but it comes out easier later on. Be careful with anti-seize, It can get everywhere and can be a bitch to remove from areas you did not want it to go. Some times a sharp rap on the wrench with a dead weight hammer(on the wrench) can make it come loose.
that's what she saidproper preparation is importantagain...isn't this what she said?Its anal but it comes out easier later on.
