ok guys just been attempting to fix my brothers front skyway

for some reason the wheel starte resisting and no turning smoothly once i got back home i started to try and fix, for some reason the axle is turning all the way round and the outside axle nuts are turning too,
so when i tighten them the wheel goes rigid!?
whats happened? am i missing a washer or are the lock nuts closest to the wheel too tight.

really could use ure help as i want to fix tonight!

you had the cones tight, but you never nipped the lock nuts up tight to the cones.

Piece of piss really ;)
