I am considering it. I may just cross fingers for no punctures until the cargo bike arrives when I can replace the axle without major inconvenience

The silver non drive side piece that attaches to the trailer is actually threaded into the axle section that goes through the wheel so that is spinning.

Hard to explain but I have a broken one in the shop that I will send a photo of tomorrow which will explain everything.

If you need a replacement then the Robert axle project will have something suitable.

The non drive side silver hitch part is threaded into the axle.

Hi thanks! Yeah the silver nut that clamps the trailer hitch indeed unscrewed. Previously I've been able to undo the axle using the hitch as a handle. I'm going to just cross my fingers until the new kid carrier turns up before trying anything potentially destructive. We are probably gonna sell it anyway and the buyer is unlikley to need the same axle as me...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
