Re: how do remove stripped nut from back wheel

See if you can get a screwdriver wedged between the frame and the sissybar and try to force the nut outward on the axel while you turn it? Thanks!!!

i tried that little while ago the nut is rounded so the wrench does not grip it very well but thanks for the help

have you tried using vice grips?

Try vicegrips if that dont work get out the hacksaw and start cutting the top of the nut off, when you get it cut most of the way threw use your chissle and hammer and beat it off.
