Title: Worksman wheel axle
Post by: razerface on June 26, 2022, 03:55:06 PM: I need a longer axle in the front of a worksman wheel. The forks need to be wider to give room for the brake to be fastened. I beat on the axle with a dead blow hammer, but it did not budge. How does that sucker come out?

John, watch this video, it shows how to take it apart. I'll collect my consulting fee next year in Portland!

The axle is not straight. It has a bigger dia in the middle, forcing the bearing to come out with the axle instead of a simple spacer inside.

Thanks for the video Rick. I will watch it too.
