lerouc Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Hey How the hell do i remove this? I pull turn push turn and nothing. Cant find alot of help online. Please help,Cobus
ChunkyMonkey Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Hi Cobus,1st. You pull out wards , then turn QR lever counterclockwise...Unfortunately you have already grased it quite badly, that might make it harder to release...Good luck!
lerouc Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 Nothing happens when i turn it...its like its just the lever pulling out and turning not the axle. If you understand.
Tjokkits Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 The engineers who designed these must be fired. Problem is the lever attaches with a thread that runs same direction, so if it loosens this happens. Bikeshop had to bucher mine out and then r600 for a replacement.
hayleyearth Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Mine works as follows..... do not pull 1st and then turn! just turn it as is in a counter clockwise direction (I think the 'pull and turn' is to place the lever in a 'correct' angle like you prefer it when you ride or tighten/loosen it) Hi Cobus,1st. You pull out wards , then turn QR lever counterclockwise...Unfortunately you have already grased it quite badly, that might make it harder to release...Good luck! This is not a QR.

But i am sure i did try turning it without pulling it.

But i am sure i did try turning it without pulling it.They can get pretty tight... remember..... lefty loosey, righty tighty.... When you refit it, put some copperslip on the threads AND on the axle (saves you hunting for some odd noises sometimes....) - just a very thin layer.

lerouc Posted October 7, 2014 Author Posted October 7, 2014 Correct, mine works exactly the same. thanks
droo Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Just unscrew it. The pull and turn bit is to reposition the lever if the frame gets in the way when unscrewing, or when it's fully tightened to get it out of the way.
lerouc Posted October 9, 2014 Author Posted October 9, 2014 Thanks everyone, it just turns counter clockwise loose. It was just really tight on hence why i didn't want to force it.
