I've had a Maxle seize in a Draco. Its nothing to do with Pro2s specifically, its do do with lack of lubrication (I use engine oil, chain lube will work fine, you could use grease, I wouldn't use copper grease myself) and getting things wet and dirty. Look after your bike better if you don't want it to happen.

i would use the copper grease its great at stopping things seizing, I also put it on the back of disc brake pads to stop squeal,as it has a high temp melting point.( Mechanics use it on car and motorbike pads aswell) be careful not to get any on your pads though.

What it is

If you couldn't get it apart, you probably should have used Copaslip when you put it together.

Molyslip Copaslip is an anti-seize compound consisting of finely divided copper and lead macro particles in a non-melt bentone base to which are added highly effective oxidation and corrosion inhibitors.


Why is this important?

Copaslip won't soften or harden under extreme operating conditions. (operating range up to 2000 ºF (1100 ºC).

Prevents metal-to-metal contact under all likely conditions so there is no danger of galling or metal pickup even under extreme pressures.

Highly effective corrosion inhibitors provide permanent protection against rusting & corrosion.


Where to use Copaslip

In high temperature areas: Copaslip's high temperature anti-seize properties save valuable man hours in dismantling retorts, boiler covers, valves and furnace parts, exhaust manifolds, etc.


In areas of extreme pressure: Use it on tool joints, drill collars, precision threads, pipelines and valves. Copaslip permits easy break-out of threaded connections even after prolonged exposure to extreme pressure, temperature and corrossion.


At points of high friction: Copaslip protects where conventional lubricants break down such as drawing and forming metals; lathe centres and slides; wire ropes and chains, (particularly In very arduous conditions).


In any assembly process: Copaslip reduces nut driving torque requirements compared to oil or grease In addition to greatly increasing the ease of dismantling. Use as a lubricant behind disc brake pads to reduce squeal, on pivot points and adjusters; on manifold, muffler and pipe bolts and connections; spark plug threads and cylinder head bolts.

take all the insides out so just the axle is in the forks (it may just be maxle dh's ) but there should be a 10mm axle slot. You should be able to get more leverage with a 10mm allen key
