Cheers BMX1973, rather than file flat spots into the axle, i've followed your link to winstaleys bmx & ordered a new front axle with flat spots already machined for £5.99 delivered! Bargain. Now this might sound like a really stupid question, but does the old axle come out easy enough? Is it just a case of removing the cone nuts & tapping the axle through? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Cheers everyone for your suggestions.
