1200TC front wheel removal

[Wreford Miles]

Is it just a matter of loosening the one pinch bolt then unscrewing the axle anti clockwise...

Mines not turning, am I missing a step?

Cheers

Axle seized in the bearing perhaps.

I don't think you are missing anything. I do just as you have, except my wheel spindle unscrews and comes out ok. Soak in penetrating oil overnight and try again?

All done just needed a bit of force...

Big hammer is the key to any successful job

Take pinch bolt right out. Get a kettle of boiling water and pour over bottom of forks around axle. Should make alloy expand just enough to get it turning and out. Use a torque wrench and give threads on axle and forks a good clean and lube when rebuilding. I have a tin of Castrol LM grease thats perfect.

Hot water over the left side where the threads are will deal with any seizure.
