has anybody ever had any problem with 05 66's forks axle getting stuck! if so i could really use some help, the left bolt at the bottom facing the fork it suck and i can get 20mm axle out! cheers Ben
i used a reverable drill and one of these babies, £6.99 from b&q:
They snap really easily.
The reason your axle is stuck is because that bolt is still tight (cant work out if you already know that, sorry if you do). My usual way of removing rounded bolts is getting a sacrificial torx bit that is just bigger than the allen head and hammer it in, this usually gives you enough to get it free.
Those bolts really are not supposed to be that tight, they only need to stop the axle turning nothing more.
Belt a flat blade screwdriver in the allen hole in the screw-in end, use an adjustable spanner to turn it if the screwdriver has a square shank, failing that take your forks off and put the screwdriver in a vice....
GT85 would be best if its stuck - when was the last time the wheel was out??
