How do I remove the last lock nut from the threaded track hub axle?
I can't get a good grip on the axle, they should have made some wrench flats on it.
I tried tightening up two other lock nuts against each other to hold, but it didn't work.

Fit two nuts on the other side, loosely, and then tighten them against each other so they operate as jam nuts. Then, with a spanner holding the inner jam nut in place, undo the lock nut you're trying to shift. Once it's off, loosen the two jam nuts and unthread them.

Thanks. this worked.
It was more or less what I tried yesterday, but this time I fixed one cone spanner in a vise to have a bit more control.

cheers
