williams Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hey! Got a try all hub from a mate... The drive side axle bolt is dead stuck. It's not the ordinairy 'use a 10mm spanner fix'. I've tried that, but the non drive side just unscrewed no matter how hard I tightened the bolts up.. I've tried various different things, but I'm out of solutions.. What can I do? Cut of the bolt head? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatpro09 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 When this happened to a tensile hub I had I just used an angle grinder to remove the head Then again I didn't need to preserve anything because the axle was snapped anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Pic of the problem? I'm thinking if you can get the axle out, put it in a vice.( I doubt the solution is that easy as you wouldn't have asked for help ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Yeah might just remove the head of the bolt! It's basically the bolt being tightened against the hub, nothing more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Still trying to picture the problem. it can't be what my minds eye sees obviously, because cutting the head off will leave the stuck thread in the hole and make the axle usless Unless that's the plan, but then if the other side is off I imagine you to be able to just slide the axle out, whack it in a vice and get the molies on the bolt, saving the axle I'm so confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Head of the stuck bolt in a vice and then mole grips on the opposite side to effectively unscrew the axle from the bolt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
