And I can untighten one side, but then the axle moves for the other with the nut but doesnt come lose. Hahaha sorry, its pretty hard to explain this. Basically, the rear hub axel moves when i try to tighten the wheel. What can i do to fix it?
Common problem. Put a drop of oil in between the nut and the spinning washer attached to it so it doesn't bind up while you're tightening them down (if you're not using track nuts with rotating washers, get them). Tighten the non-drive side first, then the drive side while holding the wheel straight. It sometimes helps to go back and forth from side to side, tightening each a little at a time.
