Thank you, FB, your bus driver suggestion is a good one and I tried it. But I did not get far. This bike does not have a QR axle. And there is not enough of the axle sticking out beyond the freewheel to reach through my remover which is 40 mm deep overall. Loosening the locknut and cone on the opposite side doesn't allow me to move more of the axle to the freewheel side. Apparently the locknut and cone on the freewheel side are entrapped by the freewheel so I can't move more of the axle to the freewheel side. I can see the locknut on the freewheel side of the axle but there is not enough room to get at it even with a thinwall socket. What do you think?
