Before you reassemble make sure the axle also slides through both fork legs easily without the wheel in the mix. There can be slight differnces in lengths of tubes and fork lowers that can make things more difficult than if you make sure everything lines up

It looks ok. A little sticky in the forks, but will go through.  The guy who had this bike must have never heard of a torque wrench. I'm having to replacce bolts left and right.

I also bought a special tool to help gently drive out the axle when necessary.

Interested to know which tool that might be.

you can use an old oem SBK clipon with the plastic bar end up against the axle.

Yeah, that's the one.  But motomfg are thieves and I can't support their products.

I have a favorite wood chisel.  The handle fits perfectly.
