Bearing Wheels Issue Empty
PostSubject: Bearing Wheels Issue   Bearing Wheels Issue EmptyMon Jul 18, 2011 6:44 am

Well more of a hardware issue.
So I have some china wides, I've been shaping them and planned on painting them. The process I'm using to shape them is very slow, so I've missed actually skating my setup. I decided to take a break from shaping, put the half-shaped trucks back on and ride it for a little bit.

I was putting on my last wheel and about half way on, I realised that the nut was barely moving, it was stripped. So now one of my Roll9's are stuck... It wouldn't be such a big issue to me if the truck wasn't 1/2 shaped. The truck isn't symmetrical and that will drive me absolutely insane.

I spent the last two hours trying to slowly unscrew it- I've gotten it pretty close to the edge, but now it doesn't seem to be moving. I'm not sure what I should do, as they are my only bearing wheels. If you have any suggestions or advice it'd be much appreciated happy I might post a picture later, if you want to see, but it's currently 1:45 am my time and I'm tired :3

you can either keep trying, or find some very thin pliers and either try to unscrew the nut, or pull the axle out of the truck. Or if the wheel has room to move you could maybe push it towards the nut so there is some axle exposed, get a thin saw, and cut the axle off without damaging the wheel?

Last one probably isn't the best idea haha

Well I've talked to the owner of Locust wheels, and will be buying a set from them very soon, sorry.

But yeah I was able to turn the nut with a pair of tweezers, but turns out the axle is loose and is turning with the nut. Darn these China trucks. I need me some brt's.
