4) to center the rear wheel in the frame, re-dish the wheel. I did not do this because of spoke length problems, but my wheel lined up pretty well. I got lucky. Another thing that worked well was a new axle that had adjustable spacers. You just dial in the fit.
Will this work?

If the wheel is off center, the bike won't ride right, will it?
I did take the locknut off one side of the axle, but it still would not slide out. The locknut on the other side of the axle would not come loose.
Maybe it's time for a new wheel?
