Easy Lego Technic 8110 9398 Portal Axle and Hub Separation

Smart and effective ! :)

@sunnykoomos No, the tapered edge that separates the 2 pieces is not sharp at all and shouldn't scrathc the parts. As far as the part getting hurt during seaparation, I have tried this about 20 times with the same 2 pieces and they still snap back together like new and are just as hard to get apart... It's all in the mechanical advantage of the wedge part of a butter knife...

THANK YOU GUY! :)

Where can I get the pieces to make make this absolutely awesome model? :)

I actually also do the same thing. It is very handy I find.

Could you pls comment at my Unimog chassis at Mocpages (Kron13creations). You can also say whats not so good at it (LDD). I am only 13 so I hope it is good for my age. thx for reading. Hope you like it !!

I only posted this video because I was hearing so many horror stories of people having trouble getting these things separated.... One guy said he used 2 screwdrivers and wedged them in there and twisted opposite ways and just closed his eyes.. LOL...

I'll check it out...

I just did a search for Kron13creations at Moc pages and nothing came up....

Send a link to me via email or a message...

Woops sorry. You must tipe in ronald goedeke.

I wouldn't call this easy; the dark grey tabs on the hub are prone to break. It's very dependent on the knife's profile.

Almost all butter knives are slightly tapered just enough to pop the 2 pieces apart... This method is much easier(and safer) than some of the stories that I have read about around the web...

It didn't work for me. :(

What didn't work..? They didn't separate..?

Yes. I inserted the knife like you showed but the hub did not come apart.

It has to be tapered so when you slide it forward it spreads the 2 pieces apart...

It worked. Seemed a lot easier in video but all in all effective. Thanks for the vid

Thanks for sharing, solved my problem perfectly.
