[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 945800, member: 3828"] My trick for supporting the wheel is to use a 2-3 foot length of 1x6 under the wheel as a lever to raise the wheel to the appropriate height. Then jam a wood block under the 1x6 to support it and free up both hands for wiggling and axle pushing. You really shouldn't have to knock it in. But if you did, the threads should be fine as they are turned down to a smaller diameter than the main body of the axle. Maybe that one spacer has corrosion or built up dried grease on it? Not worth pulling the wheel bearings to get that spacer out, IMO. [/QUOTE]
