Hi help required,
Bike chain needs replacing. So removed axle nut and then took the adjusters apart.
I have had no problems adjusting the chain.
The tyre was changed 3 years ago and I think this was the last time the axle has been removed.
I can rotate the axle with the socket when the nut is removed.
using a block and hammer the axle moved about 5mm. But how do I now get it all
the way out without trashing the thread.
Thought about putting a bolt that will fit inside the hollow axle to stop the end from getting trashed and using
chrome vanadium socked extension and just hitting hard.
But is this the right way or do I take it the shop and get them to do it.
Will the bearings be trashed, they are the original 36k miles and 12 years old ridded through all 11 winters.....
The wheel runs fine, no grinding so I just think one has stuck to the axle.
I don't want to trash the axle getting it out...
Cheers,
