doing a re-build. Anyone got a pair of downtube shifters going? 9 speed or 10 speed would also work. Cheers! :-)

Success!
Thank you all for your help and tips! In the end I think the combo of using the lighter to apply some heat as suggested and some more wd40 helped. I had a friend clamp the washer on the NDS to apply some counter pressure, then I twisted it off with an adjustable spanner.
The bearings are absolutely shot, more dust and rust than grease. But thanks to your help I can service it now. Thanks!

Ah! That's a good idea! I'll try that too.
I see what you mean about the dust cap, its wobbling but it wont go further in to expose the cone nut. I think I'll have to take a lesson from this about assuming wheels left at the back of the garage for 8 years are going to be fine. Haha.

Just replied to your pm :-)

Basically, its that outer most bolt that is stuck. Just wont budge. Tried as you suggested with wd40, and as @Alexnharvey suggested with the nut on the other side but still no luck. I've leant it up against the radiator for now, and i'll come back to it later with a hairdryer to see if the heat helps loosen it off.
I don't want to go at it with a hammer just yet, as the cone on the DS is still attached and I don't want to damage the bearings. If I can however get a tool inside the freehub body to grip the cone nut on the DS, then I might be able to get some purchase on that pesky NDS lock nut. I tried with my pliers gripping the DS cone bolt but it keeps slipping.
Also checked already to see if I can slide a 5mm or 4mm inside the axle and there's no hex hole unfortunately :-(. If I can't sort this afternoon I give the LBS or local engineer a ring I think!

Thanks a lot for all of your help and suggestions! I let you know if I manage it :-)

Shimano fd-5800 10 speed braze on front derailleur, can I take that if not already purchased? Thanks :-)

Both the washers on the NDS seem to be round. :-(

Tried with pliers but no dice. It seems to have been over tightened so perhaps that’s why. Do you reckon if I get a big washer and a nut on the drive side for counter pressure it could work?

Damn. Haha

here's the hub breakdown: https://ambringa.cdn.shoprenter.hu/custom/ambringa/image/cache/w1400h900wt1/product/AFHM530AZAL1.jpg?lastmod=-62169987600.1591627937

I took the rubber seal off. No parts missing. When I tried to loosen it, the drive side just came off fine. I tried using the cone nut on the drive side to get some purchase but haven't got a spanner that'll grab it inside the freehub body. Could i remove the freehub body to get to it?

I can't get any purchase. The axle just goes round and round

here's the lock nut in question...

sure. here's the hub break down.. https://ambringa.cdn.shoprenter.hu/custom/ambringa/image/cache/w1400h900wt1/product/AFHM530AZAL1.jpg?lastmod=-62169987600.1591627937

Hi. Hope everyone is well.
I'm trying to service my shimano deore fh-m530 rear hub. Serviced the front wheel no problem, running lovely now. However, the lock nut on the non drive side (rear hub) seems to be stuck, and there's no nut on the same side to apply any counter pressure with a cone spanner. Any advice on how I can get it off so that I can clean and grease the bearings. Any advice welcome. I've scoured the web and can't find anything other than the hub breakdown picture from the shimano website. Thanks!

what size are the ritchey handlebars? thanks :-)

Ritchey classic flat bars silver, what size are they? thanks :-)

Preach, brother!

its not disc

Did I mention it's black?

Well, ONO ;-). Maybe I should bring it down. better to start too high than too low I guess

Yea, but this is black black

I purchased a 2015 56cm CAAD10 back in August as they were a great deal at the time. But to my woes, I couldn't quite fit onto it with my long legs and monkey arms, hence the sale.

I built it all up in my flat, then took it all apart to sell. So technically it's been out of the flat when I brought it home in the box, but that's it. I've still got all the papers, box, plastic bags and everything to go with it.

It's the black on black colour scheme. Could be a decent stealth road bike. 1150 gram weight means a pretty good base to build a fast and stiff road frame from. Racing or just a nice light bike, should be great.

Summary:
56cm
Black/Black
Frameset - frame and forks
Brand new - never ridden
Light and stiff
Cracker of a bike
