please help removing front axle

i am to the part where it says insert a drift into the front axle and remove it, What is a drift????i dont have anything in my tool kit that would seem to go inside the axle like a drift whatever it is, please help

oh and i am trying to remove the front wheel so i am on the last step i'm stuck please help i tried putting a allen wrench in the 2 holes in the end of the axle and twist and pull it but no luck

 

It is just a type of punch. You can use a metal rod & hammer to lightly tap the axle through. Support the front of the bike to keep the weight off the axle, center the rod on the axle as you tap. Go easy, the axle should slide out without much force.

 

yeah that worked perfect and very easy thanks

 

is that how to replace the bearings or is that something else.
