I demonstrate how to change out a bent axle from the rear wheel of a mountain bike I was working on. The wheel seemed out of true, but after looking closer, I realized the axle was bent. The wheel had a weird wobble. I took apart the hub, cleaned all the parts, replaced the bent axle with a new one, lubed everything and put it all back together. Common (not complete) axle diameters/threadings: Front solid axle 5/16" x 24 TPI Front QR axle 9mm x 1mm thread Rear solid axle 3/8" x 24 or 26 TPI Rear QR axle 10mm x 1mm thread Some of the tools used: Dualco Mini Grease Gun: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0025UGOVW/ref=nosim/youtube25-20 Park Tool Spoke, Bearing, and Cotter Gauge - SBC-1: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000OZBK82/ref=nosim/youtube25-20 ▶ SUBSCRIBE & HIT THE 🔔 http://bit.ly/SubRJTheBikeGuy 👍 And please give my video a thumbs up 👍 ▶FACEBOOK.com/RJTheBikeGuy https://www.facebook.com/RJTheBikeGuy ▶TOOLS http://www.rjthebikeguy.com/tools ▶SHIRTS http://bit.ly/RJBikeGuyShirts ▶WEBPAGE http://www.RJTheBikeGuy.com
