or a big thank you to ham fisted wanna be mechanics.

So it is that time in my little gixxers ownership where I need to fit new rear rubber. I got a good quoted from those nice chaps at B&C to fit on loose wheel.

Bike on stand. big socket fitted on breaker bar. WTF, it won't turn. heave and it move a tad. So airline out, impact gun and it still won't shift. So end up back with breaker bar nearly pulled the bike off the paddock stand and eventually I get the nut off.

this is the reason why it won't shift.

I cannot believe I have done 3000 miles with that. So now I need to source a new axle and nut as well as the rubber. Thank you Mr Bodger
