<< < (2/2)

Were they well lubed  ;)
Ti against Ti doesnt go, it needs a grease compound to prevent galling (binding together)

lazychubs:
yes was using copper grease all i was doin was changing the arms using me old bb
and tried to clean the threads in the axle today and they just fall out
the nuts are bin fodder as they wouldnt even clean up
so looks like ive ruined a decent axle and bolts

fouronethreeoh!:
You could get the axle helicoiled, if its profile its 3/8 unf.
Although tapping ti should be fun.

lazychubs:
yeah we tried today makes a sound like breaking glass then bits fall out lol
