Axel stuck!

[Dozza]

Hey, well I just got my Pitpro and was putting the front wheel on and need to get the axel back out now because the wheel isn't aligned with the forks. But now the axel won't unscrew, it just rotates around in the same spot.

Here are some pics:





So how are you supposed to get this thing out?

Thanks.

you may have to support the front of your bike of the ground to take the weight of the wheel then poke something through from the other side give the axel a tap use something softer than the axel to avoid damage it should come out

that always happens, happened to me with the ABG-29, just suport it properly then she'll come right out

We tried lifting it up vertically so the front wheel is right up in the air so it was being supported by the back wheel and unscrewing it out, even tapping it with something but it still wouldn't come out. You can see the end of the axel on the other side of the wheel so it's right in there.

Stunt, what do you mean by support it properly? What would be the best way to do this?

try spraying a bit of wd40 on/inside it and turn it before pulling

put in on a fuel can or milk crate with some bricks/wood on it for extra hight

Hey I got it out! I put some WD-40 on it, held the bike up turned the wheel on its side and my bro pulled it out. Easy.

Thanks guys!
