Axle wont budge

[Sam Bennett]

Hi. My back wheel is on the verge of dehubbing but I can't take it off because the back axle won't move at all. What do I do?

 

[Grant Schofield]

Cut your dropouts off.

 

[Michael Osterlund]

if the nut is off cant you just hit it out with a hammer?

 

[dirtbiker2424]

The axle might be broken or bent inside.

 

[AndyNguyen]

For some odd and apparent reason i screwed it out. It worked... I was baffled
But if that doesnt work, go apeshit with a hammer

Yeah that what I had to do for some redo. Screw it out and what kind of axel do you have

 

[microdownunder]

If hitting it with a hammer doesn't work you should be able to drill off the axle head.

Use a 19/64 drill (14mm) bit centred on the allen key hole to drill the round head off the bolt and it should just slide out.

You'll need a new axle but you'll be able to change the wheel,

take a size 6 or 7 allen key and a hammer. put the allen key on the end of the axle and hammer it out. works every time
