They were fitted to the bike when I got it but now I need to get the front wheel out I can't get to the axle nut. How do I remove them ? Are they threaded one side through to the other ? Hoping someone can help me on this one !
they are usually just a long piece of threaded bar with a nut on each end, you may need to put a socket on each side to undo...
Thanks SteveO916. Turns out they were just a push fit into the hollow axle. A total bastard to remove to be honest !
The best thing to use is a deep socket, to go over the slider and onto the nut. That way the slider remains in place.
Completely forgot to check what size the front axle nut is :Banghead: Doen anyone know what size socket I need ?
