Hi guys,
I wanted to take of my rear wheel to balance it as I had a small crash and the wheel wasn't balanced anymore. I loosed up the nut and made around 3 turns. After which the nut got stuck. I thought that I need to use the bigger wrench so I got it. It went a little more but the align plate from the right of the bike got above the swing arm. Loosened it up a bit placed it back and tried it again with my friend helping me to keep it in place. The bad part is the align plate material gave off and the axle started spinning inside the align plate "eating" the aluminium. I tried to block it with a screwdriver, other tools but couldn't take off that damn nut.
Now I do not know how to take off that stuck nut because each attempt will end up with the axle spinning freely. I cannot tightened it up either so I cannot move the bike. I suspect to buy another axle and nut as these ones seem to be faulty.
The idea is that the nut was not bulged at the beginning. It got stuck once i started to loosen it up.
I am opened to any idea.
Kinda ruined my day.
Sincerely,
Robert
