cant get tecate locknuts off

[MagicJames]

I can't get the locknuts off the axle. Are they reverse thread or what?

Help me brethren and females too!

T dont think they are, on my 200m and 185s thair not. Did you try throwing some heat on them or some pb blaster ?:beer

[lndy650]

use a pipe wrench with a long pipe.

[johnny's X]

blue wrench them and they shoud back off

[MagicJames]

Anyone else have any input on whether or not they are reverse threaded?

[Curtis-Tecate3]

Standard thread.....And aways a bear to loosen.

[bonkers_200s]

Soak in pb or wd, walk away, get a buddy and pipe, spray it again for good measure, put the pipe on the handle of the ratchet. One pushes and holds the ratchet, the other pulls down on the pipe.


If that doesn't work try cursing at it and setting on fire a wee bit.

Might have to heat up the nuts, then spray them down with PB while there hot, that usually helps alot.

clean the threads real good , smack a few times with a BAH to break any bonds. PB and heat are great. Huge channel locks worked pretty good for me. In a manual I read it said sometimes you just cant get them off and have to split them. Good Luck!

pipe wrenches dont slip and a long pipe never fails.

Well we used the Reciprocating wrench, and got them off... Now the hub is stuck on there
