hey all, so I have the front nut off, there was no split pin, it's got the circlip. I've got that off. Now I can't get the damn thing to budge.
Am I missing something?

thanks for your infinite vespa wisdom

I might know your dilemma. Can you please post a close-up picture of the hub?

Hello

Please tell us that you have released the brake arm, if not do so, leave the wheel and tyre in place so you have something to grip and with a rubber mallet tap the tyre and waggle the wheel.

Regards

I disconnected the front brake cable, should I remove the spring clip from the arm as well?

Sorry unable to take photos at the moment. What's the concern?

Erock,

No need to remove the circlip. The circlip is for the bearing. To remove the hub, simply remove the crush nut, and then give a couple raps on the end of the axle with a hammer. The hub will then come off.
