I've been trying to get the front wheel spindle on my curvy to unscrew, but it resists all efforts to make it move. I've taken both the pinch bolts out, is there anything else holding it that I've missed,or has some ham fisted moron drastically overtightened it? I've tried heat, impact driver etc but it just does not want to move

Assuming the pinch bolts on the RHS fork leg have been unscrewed then nothing else should be holding it in. It should just unscrew. I'd assume that it wasn't greased when it went in last, so some proper penetrating oil might be a good start.
I tend to use a nice 6 sided socket and a breaker bar to convince such items to turn. Jambo

Silly question.
You are turning it the right way? Ie, anti clockwise? Just checking |

In answer to the above, it isnt moving, not even a fraction of an inch, tried penetrating oil, breaker bar, yep turning the right way. It's a total B every other bolt I've undone on the bike has had copaslip on it, so either the front wheel has never been off in a long long time, or a knuckle dragger has been at it

Release the forks from the yokes then, slide them out and then split it that way.

Yah take the mudguard off before you use the forks as a cracking bar though

Have you tried maybe knocking a screwdriver up into the slit in the right side fork? You know where the pinch bolts go?
Just an idea but don't knock anything in too far. |
