rear wheel stuck?

[cr25096er]

On my new 2 me 97yz125 the rear wheel is stuck. I believe its the left side bearing because when i try removing it, the swing arm flexes a little bit and the dust seal of that side is coming out. I pryed the dust seal out and pumped as much "Break Free" penetrating oil in there as i could. Ive tryed using a mallet and a piece of soft wood but the axle just digs into the wood. Would i be able to put the nut on the end of the axle and beat the hell out of it? or would this damage the nut and axle? Im gonna try a piece of oak wood before i do anything else but i wanna find out about what else I can do.

Is the axle bent?? If you can't get the axle out, there is a possibility that it may be bent..

I would pour some quality penetrating oil down the side of the axle on each side and leave overnight. Make sure the chain adjusters are slacked off first. Then install the nut and tap the axle out with a block of hardwood and a hammer.
Its pretty rare for the axle to be bent. It probably hasn;t been removed in a long time and is fused to the spacer tube.

yea its fused. I highly doubt it has even been removed.

Try heating it up, them hit it out w/the hammer and wood..

This happened to me back in the 70s, after I rode my bike on the beach,
when you finally get the axle out, grease it !
Try kerosine, it works.
