What if the axle bolt is still stuck, then what? Used PB blaster and i ain't gonna use heat on my rear hub...

@austinhoneycutt2994 7 лет назад

my problem is when I try to remove the stuck nuts my whole axle spins how do I stop it from spinning

@Brant_Moore 7 лет назад

You should be able to use the tips in this video to stop it from spinning. Do you have enough room on one side to put another axle nut on and tighten them together?

@RlativityVSinscurity 4 года назад

Same problem, my jamb nut against my cassette won't budge, just turns the axle spindle. Tried the techniques in the vid but the spindle continues to turn. I have nothing on the opposite side, can I hammer out the spindle and just replace or is it being held on to the hub by the cassette or something?

@patriotgamer9339 4 года назад

Yes, just depends on which hub it is. There’s usually replacement axles available

@Ryanouou Год назад

Thank you man.

@minion_7656 7 лет назад

I have a question. on my spare rims they are FA.. whenever I try to take the back off no matter what I do, if i unloosen one side it tightens the opposite side then Vice verses.. I even used the 22mm wrench like you said to help but the only thing that does is loosens up the side the 22 wrench is on.. So my question is how do I get the stuck side out?

@Brant_Moore 7 лет назад

Have you tried using a socket or wrench on both sides at the same time? So that it cant tighten or loosen itself on the opposite side? Its hard to visualize whats going on without seeing it but that might help.

@minion_7656 7 лет назад

@Brant_Moore yeah I've tried everything nothing helps, best way to explain is my drive side won't unloosen once it's tighten. if I loosen the other side then try to loosen the drive side it just spins the whole axle. it's like it is locked in, even tried lubing it up once I got it off

@Brant_Moore 7 лет назад

+Rj Puckett You probably either need a washer or your axle cleaned up with a die. I have the die for axles.

@drewanstore5550 Месяц назад

I’m currently in a world of pain and frustration with a bolt stuck in female axle and I don’t understand the supposed mechanics of the 3rd tip on this otherwise very clear and concise video of high quality typical of the author. What does tightening the other side on the fork help, when it’s that side that will open first when applying torque to the other side? It’s no different from trying to do this with no fork leg in between the non-problematic bolt and the axle.

@WaterHartwellWhite 10 месяцев назад

Would it work if I put a spanner on the jam nut on the drive side (the one I’m struggling to get off) and another spanner on the opposite side jam nut, would that stop the axle spinning (it spins with the nut I’m trying to remove), I want to ask before I try it incase I damage anything

@Brant_Moore 10 месяцев назад

If the wheel isn't on the bike the side that isn't stuck will likely loosen before the side that is stuck. If you have the wheel on the bike with the side that isn't stuck tightened down with an axle nut, yes putting 2 spanners on the jam nuts could help loosen the stuck jam nut. If they are skinny enough to get them in there with it on the bike.

Hey....I can't find any videos on youtube that explain which direction jam nuts with grooves should be used for bmx wheels....On my wheel, after the bearings, I have two lock nuts with grooves on one side, on both sides of the wheel. Which direction should the grooves face? I think these jam nuts are there to prevent the bearing from being turned..but I can't even find a video that explains how to use jam nuts with grooves on each side....

@Sebjg92 6 лет назад

I have a question if you got the time. I have been stupid and tighten one of my axle nuts so hard that it wont come off like on your at 4:47. I do as you show in the video, but the axle only spins so the loose nut comes off again. The one thats stuck stay stuck. Hope that's somewhat understandable. Any suggestions?

@Brant_Moore 6 лет назад

So if I’m understanding right, the wheel is on the bike with one side stuck? If that’s the case the only thing I could thing of is what you have probably already done would be to tighten the other side as hard as possible then trying to loosen the other side. Or get a pipe to extend your wrench as much as possible

@Sebjg92 6 лет назад

Hehe yeah. I was supposed to put on hub guards and somehow I ended up (stupid as I am) tightening the shit out of the one side. So I couldn't get the axle nut loose to put the wheel back on. So then I tried your trick with one side screwed to the bike. But when I try to loosen the stuck axle nut (the one hanging out and of the bike like yours) the axle just spins and loosen the nut thats keeping the wheel hanging to the bike. The nut thats not stuck.

@Brant_Moore 6 лет назад

If you have enough axle left over put another axle nut on and tighten it against the one that keeps loosening. That should keep it from loosening itself

@MrMasterninjakiller 4 года назад

I have a question. I recently bought a wheel with a profile elite front hub. It comes stock with a 14mm aluminium axle. It says on the website that it is not suitable for heavy park or street use. My question is how durable is it? How much abuse will it take? Should I just switch it out for a chromoly one straight away? What are the strengths of each? Aluminium, chromoly, and titanium. Any advice you could give me would be a great help. Thanks in advance

@Brant_Moore 4 года назад

I wouldn’t worry about it. Most people run the stock axle and never have a problem. If you’re really worried about it, a chromoly one is stronger. But the aluminum fronts really don’t break that often

@MrMasterninjakiller 4 года назад

@@Brant_Moore thanks for the advice. I've searched and there isn't any videos pertaining to axle material and durability except of course your planetary free coaster axle video. Wouldn't be a bad topic for a Tuesday Tip. I'd watch it. I'd be interested to know what the weight ratings and abuse each type of axle material is capable of.

@TheTechdeckfreak95 7 лет назад

Can you do a how to center your axle video I have a shadow conspiracy btr hub and my axle is shifted to one side more

Hmmm, it really shouldnt do that since its a female axle. They're made a specific way so there isnt really a way for it to be shifted like that unless a bearing or something isnt pushed all the way in on one side.
