Profile Problem.

Ok in this description I will be using the wonders of colour :P

Right, when I turn this bolt it turns ok. However, when I turn this bolt the other bolt turns and the red thing does aswell. I put mole grips on the blue bolt yet when I turn the green bolt it still doesn't come out yet the red thing keeps turning. How can I undo the green bolt?

Put wheel into frame. Tighten blue bolt which will clamp red cone. Undo green bolt.

If that doesn't work. Remove red cone. Put a 10mm washer in place of it, so it sits against the axle and nothing else. Now put into frame and tighten blue. Now undo green.

If that doesn't work you should of greased the bolts in the first case. Now remove blue. Do the old spray WD40 down axle and leave overnight. The hub/ wheel will want to sit with green on the floor. This should allow the WD40 to drain through. Now repeat step 1.

You should take both bolts out. Clean the bolt threads thoroughly. Get some pipe cleaner and clean inside the axle. Also some WD40 sprayed down there (using red straw) should clean out any other crap. Wipe out any excess left by the WD40 using more pipe cleaners. Then grease them bolts before installation. Try not to drop them and getting them covered in dirt :P This should solve your problem.

Basically just gotta do a combo of things - take out the bolt that fits in alright, and spray a bunch of WD-40 directly down the axle so it's going onto the other bolt (May wanna lie your bike on it's side to get it in further). Let that soak in. Tighten the other bolt in as hard as you can, then you'll just have to use a hammer and an allen key to 'shock' the seized bolt free, rather than trying to use brute force to make it turn.
