1980 CB 750C front wheel hub removal

[shadowmoses42]

I'm trying to remove my front hub so i can replace the wheel bearing and powder coat the rims. My manual doesn't go into detail on how to do this and it seems the bolt is very tight. My manual says remove the axle nut and spacer and then remove the axle from the other side along with the speedometer housing. My problem is the bolts seem to be very tight the whole axle twists in sync with my attempts to turn. Haven't found an effective way to hold one side still and turn the other. Any videos or instructions on how to do this?

Never mind I figured it out. Axle was stuck from being outside for 18 years. Had to ruin it to get it off though.

Knipex Alligator Pliers. If you can't hold it with a pair of these, you may have to weld a handle on LOL These pliers are amazing, a must have tool for any mechanic.
