I guess you mean the acle sticking out of the bearing. If you don’t care about it anymore just hammer one side and it should come out. However if it’s too rusted up the bearing on the opposite side might come out as well

Hammer it thru

If you’re planning on reusing these, put a piece of wood (if you have one) against the spindle and then hammer it out. I say use the wood so you don’t bend the inlays when you hammer it. If you’re ditching them, just pound that shit out.

Stop – hammer time! It’s not attached to anything, it just literally hammers out

Put oil on the axle where it meets the bearing first, let it soak overnight. Support the frame so the force of the hammer goes into moving the axle not just flexing the frame.

Rubber mallet if you want to keep from banging it it up.

I loved my Sputnik satellite. Cracked it in like 3 months, but man what a good three months. Super light for the time, high bb, overall a good time.
