Hi,
I was adjusting the chain for slack last night and the axle did move back reluctantly. Especially on the brake caliper side it really looks crudded up.
So I took off both nuts on one side but I could not get the end plate off. To clean inside.
Can it get really crudded inside with winter riding that this endplate gets stuck.
Has anyone else suffered this. I didn't want to resort to any heavy handedness till I know if it just requires a tap with a screwdriver and hammer to knock off the end plate. I don't want to damage the threads.
I looked at some pictures of the endplates and they have 4 corner pieces which I am assuming are crudded up with road salt inside the swing arm.
Any help would be appreciated.
