Rear wheel seems to be siezed on. And the spacer for that matter. Any tips on getting the bugger off? Thanks

Rubber mallet...or block of wood and a lump hammer...basically, it's gonna need a good wopping...when you do get it off, use copper grease when you put it back on...

has the wheel been powder coated ? if so get a dremel on the inner surface to ensure it does not happen again,
you need to get brutal, you can prise it too slowly, but you will chip paint use the 4 nuts you can just make out to get a leverage between and the wheel.

It has been powdercoated and yet i will get at it with a dremel when its of. Gave it a good bashing and still no movement so will try to lever it off next time i am at it. Like you said. Cheers

Assuming it is up on aa ABBA stand so it is not going to fall over, get a mate to 'steady' (or sit on) the bike then sort of sitting on the floor use the heel/sole of your foot and get all medievil on the back wheel :twisted: (remember to wear shoes) :? .

Aim your kicks as far out as possible (tyre/rim) to maximise the leverage and if you have had your weetabix you should be able to break the 'sticktion' and then the thing should just fall off :grin: :grin:
