mak=3D
e sure you have removed the bolt that is =3D0Abellow it utilizing the T-Wre=

h. WD-40 should help you release it, but if that's =3D0Anot enough you can =

comes straight up. If you use just one you can risk bending the =3D0Awheelh=

get your wheel moving =3D0Aat a very slow speed and then try to hold the wh=
