20mm Thru Bolt stuck

lee96

It's been like it a while now but one of the bolts on my front wheels axle is stuck so i can not remove the front wheel. The left hand one comes straight out but the right one just spins the whole thing. (By the whole thing i mean, the cap that you undo and the spinny part of the hub on the indide of the fork. Luckily i haven't had a puncture yet or any other problems, but i'm running Combats and i want to swap and put my 24/7 wheel on as it is much lighter. Any ideas on how to undo it?

So in the picture below, number 1 is obviously the bolt that needs removing to be able to remove the axle, but when i try to undo it number 2 spins aswell.

What fork?

old 888. Tried tightening the pinch bolts at the bottom to see if that would do anything, and it didn't.

undo all the pinch bolts, remove bolt 1 from your pic and then push the axle through towards the number 2 on your pic

Never used an old 888 so I could well be wrong.

Ahh now that sounds like it could work. Can't believe I didn't try that. Thanks a lot. I'll give it a go when I get home.
