Afternoon,
Horrible noise from the front wheel and when checked the bearing is shot so, got the new one, took the free hub off, nice and easy so far, then I am about to take the large lock nut off, yes I bent back the locking washer, but it will not budge, using a cheapy spanner as due to the axel sticking out I can not get a socket on it and used a bar through it, pushed till the bar bent.
What am I missing? Surely a lock nut can not be that tight and it has been sat in oil so I am at a loss.
Any ideas?
