Arlen Ness Hot Legs tire change
 
Its time to change my front tire and removing the axel on those Arlen Ness Hot Legs is a:icon_rtfm:!!!! the axel turns but wont come out anyone else have this problem or know a way to remove them? I noticed on the Ness site that they sell "replacement axels" Is that a sign that this is the norm ??? add $50 every time I change a tire??? NOT HAPPY!!! :icon_rant:

After minimal cursing and the sacrifice of a chicken I was able to remove the axle and release the wheel. "I used a propane torch and a pair of visegrips." There is a hub ring that needed to be heated to release its grip on the axel. Now to find someone to change the tire!!!
