Hi there,

today during my test drive I managed to flip the axle on my rear hub motor.
Half is out and clean, the other moved in the slot and I can barely get to the nut. (It is a recessed style slot).
With a wrench maybe, not mine though :(.

Do you think common bicycle shops can help me?
Use force Luke?
Some mallet or trick to move it back?
Get cut wheel for my dremel to cut it off? It is not M14 so I would have to figure what the thread is.

PS: There were lock-washers there, but not a torque arm.
 
Repaired, new side-wrenches and removing the derailed.

Problem was two fold:
1) One side was not tight enough.
2) This increased the force on the second side and locking washer's completely bent back to flat.

These locking washers from EVBIKE.eu are worthless. I need to find compatible torque arm.
The one they sell is too small for the rear axle to go through. Any recommendations?
