isitafox Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 It won't be a 16.5mm will either be 16 or 17 but I'd assume it's a 16mm. What have you been using to try and get it off? May be worth taking it to a local garage and just asking them to have a go with a decent socket and long ratchet for a decent bit of leverage. Shouldn't be that tight, best make sure the thread is greased up when you get it off before you refit the wheel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny-rolos Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 another way of doing it is to get a good ratchet and heat the nut with a hot air gun (not a naked flame) and then try to slacken it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 could be the cones coming loose, try lightening (away from the frame towards the hub) the black bits that sit on the inside of the hub, i don't have paint on this computer but if someone wants to make a diagram that'd probably help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
