Okay, so I was trying Samad’s way (using two nuts) and from what I understand, you get both nuts on, then keep on screwing it in towards the hub and screw the axle out right? I tried it and stripped the nuts… 😛

(Or are you saying just to unscrew the nuts? Not really sure…)

Oh, and I’m leaving tomorrow and want to bring my DM, not my other ones, so I need help quick! :-[ :-[ 😛

You put them on about halfway down the axle. Tighten them against each other and the grab both of them at once with the pliers and twist.

So I tighten them Clockwise, then untighten counter clock wise? The nuts go with each other and both screw off… I screwed it until I couldn’t. 😛
