My Raleigh Bike. The Start.

[Boon 51]

I have the bevelled bit at the top then underneath a small ring with the grooves now that just spins round then a chrome ring then the big ring at the bottom.
The second ring just turns but nothing happens?
So what order to I take these off.

PS.. I have just watched two video's and none look like the one I have on my bike?

Is there a small grubb screw or allen key in the top one ?
If not then it should just wind up once you have released it so would suggest getting 2 prs of wide jaw pliers if no special tools holding the bottom one still and turn the top one to release

ok then grab both with pliers or special tools and holding the bottom one the top one should undo and then once top one has come off the spacer should lift up and then the lower nut should undo

The second one down just turns to the left or right and the big one at the bottom won't budge?

Boon, what are the two "marks" I have highlighted?

 

[biggs682]

so have you managed to slacken off or remove the top one ?
if so then take the shiny middle spacer ring off and the lower one should undo unless i am missing something

I have just had a look with a magnifying glass and it looks just like its been hit at some time.

No as it just turns both ways?

How far does it turn left or right ?
it should just keep turning up the threads then pop off

In randynewmanscat close up is the tapered bit and the thin grid bit underneath all in one?
