ZeroMatt Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Do the other side up first to stop the axle spinning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason222 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Spray Wd40 on the threads, get plyers or a vice, clamp the vice or plyers on the side of the hub that you got the bolt out of, and undo the stuck axle bolt with an allen key.

Henrik Y Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 both tired and failedIf you have clamped the other end of the axle in the vice and the axle still turns with the bolt stuck then it must be broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrik Y Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I guess that you've been able to get the wheel of the frame so then it shouldn't be any problem to take the hub apart and get the axle out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
