dngr2self Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Give it a tap with a hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Tighten the other side with the wheel in the frame then undo the stuck one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Get some brute force into it without snapping the head off or rounding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 @monkey Tried, but the stuck one always won @Brad I cant move it because the axle turns with it After I hired a gypsy witch to remove the curse fron me and from my bike, i will try to hammer it kinda carefully, thanks dngr!

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 If all else fails clamp the end of the axle in a vice and get some leverage on there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercofray Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) May be cross threaded, but yeah clamp the axel.. And 'stucked'? Edited November 21, 2012 by shercofray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customrider-Rhys Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 use two allen keys and undo them evenly. or do the one that comes undone up and hold it with an allen key to stop the axle turning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Tried with the double allen key one, but the other always got unscrew. I do not have a vice, i should look for one:/ any other idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 The axle turns even if its tightened to the bike from the other side. If that's the case then the threads won't be any use when the bolt comes out. Get a new axle and set of bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 that was the last idea/solution what i wanted to hear. Any other ideas, because i am on tight budget :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialskidy Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) If you have a rear axle with cones, then use a cone spanner to hold 1 of the cones and undo the axle bolt at the same time. Or you could try holding the axle with mole grips but i doubt they would hold very well... Edited November 22, 2012 by trialskidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 tighten one side of the hub fairly hard in the bike, the side that can undo and be undone freely. Then just put some beans on the other bolt untill it comes loose. Have you broken my wheel already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Rockman, thanks, it worked! Thank you for everyone the tips, now there is no bolts in my hub, and as far as i see the thread is not damaged now i should look for a spacer then!

Revolver Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Stucked. STUCKED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 In my mother language we have only three (past, present, future) tenses, and I learnt the grammar too but it is difficult for me to handle the 12 tenses fast. (But the girls love my : The people in front of the bus get tired, behind it get exhausted joke ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Stuck is the same for the three tenses so nice and easy. That bolt's gonna get stuck; damnit that bolt is stuck; f**k me that bolt was stuck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
