thru axle stuck
"tjolson81" wrote in message om... Hey guys, does anyone have a trick for removing the axle in a psylo thru axle? I guess at some point it got a little over tightened and now i can't pull it back out. I pulled off the little cap part with the lever, and now i'm stuck????? It's driving me crazy. I took off the qr's and tried to gently pry the clamping part open a little, but i can't get the thing to budge. Please help!!!!!! I need to change my tire. Thanks, -Todd Can you drive it out with a socket of about the same size? Mike -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.

I have not tried a socket, but i don't understand what you're suggesting? it's a round threaded cylinder, i'm not sure where i could get a good enough grip on it to turn it??? Ahhh, i want to put my new tire on!!!!!!- Todd Sorry I didn't know it was threaded in. If it was a metal sleeve through the drop outs like a Boxxer you could tap it out using a socket of the same diameter as the axle. Depending on the ID of the axle you may be able to find a bolt extractor to thread in and break the axle free. I'd soak the threaded portion in penetrating oil first. http://www.newmantools.com/snipe.htm#snilink looks like it might do the job. Mike -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.
