| This has happened to me a couple times. I put the other side in a vice and just loosened it as normal. This can damage the axle, but then again,you are going to run the risk of damaging the axle basically using any other method of taking the wheel off. |

| Make sure, if you are using a Vice, to wrap the threaded end of the axle that you're clamping in rubber tubing or something, you don't want to strip it ! Otherwise, use some soft grip pliers to hold it. Or use regular pliers with some tape over them. Just be careful not to damage the threads on the axle. When you put the axle back inside the truck, use a very thin layer of epoxy glue, very thin, like, really really thin so it doesn't squirt out. Make sure the axle is 100% centered! wipe off any extra epoxy from the outside of the axle! and leave to dry for AT LEAST 48 hours. If it all turns to shit let me know I can send you a 29mm hanger homie  |

brts are the best trucks available the axel of the brt is removable so ur truck is not broken or anything . u could put the axel on the truck again and try to take the wheel off with 2 tools , one in each nut, so the axel doesnt spin |

| Use some small pliers to grip the axle (not the bit with the thread) and use a normal tool to unscrew the nut. When putting the wheels back on just slide the axle into that hanger and put wheels on as usual  |
