Any tips on getting these off? I've got the cone spanners but i loosen one then the other is impossible to get off....driving me nuts!

you don't need to get them off on both sides. Just undo one side and then pull the axle through.

Need to replace the bearing so need to get both sides off? I think the shop that built the wheels tightened them up too much!

what is the problem? is the locknut coming off and leaving the cone nut? or is it coming off completely on one side and not the other?

You still shouldn't need to take both off. Once one side is off, you pull (sometimes knock) the axle through the other way. Than you've got access to both sets of bearings.

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:

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

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