Here are a few pics of the Whizzer wheel. I am pretty sure the threads on the axle compressed when the axle bent. The nut will not budge. I am probably going to have to split it with a grinder to get it off.
The rounding of the nut was from using a 15mm Snap-On 6 point wrench and piece of pipe. It is hard to see in the pics but there is a nasty bend in the axle. I am pretty sure the bend has compressed the threads locking the nut into place.Try a box wrench rather than a socket or open end, and give it a couple of whacks with a hammer rather than trying to tourque it off. Sometimes breaks it free quite easily.

You might have already posted this but what brand hub is it?I had a local bike shop rebuild my hub. All is good now. It is good to be riding again.
Good to hear Highwaystar, i need to start riding more.I had a local bike shop rebuild my hub. All is good now. It is good to be riding again.
I don't use mufflers or baffles in any of my bikes. They're still quieter than Harleys & lots of cars & trucks.When I bought my bike it did not have a muffler in the pipe. It sounds great without it, but it is loud! So I ordered a replacement. I installed it yesterday... my bike sounds so tame now. I know the muffler will keep my neighbors happy, but man, I miss that sound!
Does anyone have any tricks to give the muffled exhaust a bit more depth and tone?
Can you post a pic of which muffler you got? just like to see if it's WC-1 or NE.When I bought my bike it did not have a muffler in the pipe. It sounds great without it, but it is loud!

That's why I don't run baffles. But a friend of mine from Wisconsin always is faster than mine & he runs a baffle.Yup, WC-1, to restrictive, we need to make a hi flow muffler out of her if you can't find one.
