Front axle

Replaced the bearings on my front wheel and the axle was a pain to get out, and is a pain to get back in- it shouldn’t be a hammer fest right? I’m thinking axle is slightly enough bent and that’s causing the fitment issue. Just looking for verification- thank you all!

Was it hard to get out before you changed the bearings ? Definitely loosened the pinch bolts on bottoms of forks yeah ?

Pinches loosened and yes harder to get out then I would have expected- hammer and big punch to drive it out

I over torqued my pinch bolts once…… ONCE! I’ll never do it again.
I still can’t believe how easy the axle obliged and how expensive a replacement is.
