His latest video coming to you through our first full-length video “Aeterna” was truly a representation of Wiltons riding. High Speed, hold on and see what happens, all with a big grin and great attitude.
Wilton came and sat on the couch to give us the rundown on his Tempered Night Child frame, dressed in tempered parts this rig is built to last what Wilton throughs at it.” – Lux BMX

How To Remove A Stuck Bolt On A BMX Hub

May 5, 2020

Need to see how to remove a stuck bolt on a BMX hub?

If you have ever ran a female axle on your bike, there’s a chance at some point you might have run into an issue where your bolt on one side gets stuck and you can’t get it out, with the other side loose and the axle spinning. The guys at Lux BMX put together this video with a great trick for getting the bolt off without stripping the hub down to clamp down on the axle (likely causing damage in the process). In this video Evan Jaques shows you how to remove a stuck bolt on a BMX hub by simply connecting the loose side to one side of the dropout, and then loosening the stuck bolt. By doing this, you prevent the axle from spinning, which is a factor in why it’s tricky to break the bolt free.

This can also be applied to a rear hub as well, just connect one side of the hub to the dropout on your frame instead of the fork.

Quick, easy and doesn’t damage the hub!

“Evan Jaques is one of the founders of and owners of LUXBMX and has worked in the bike industry for the past 20 years. Riding BMX his whole life, Evan learned from a young age how to work on his bike and turned this childhood hobby into a life long obsession, career, and lifestyle.
In this first episode of Quick Fix with Evan, he shows you how to loosen off stubborn front cone nuts.” – Lux BMX

Shout out to Lux BMX with this great tip. We can imagine this will save a lot of headaches and hassle for riders out there. It could also save an axle or two from being destroyed in the process, haha.
