Youre missing some parts there brototype
The threads are pretty rusted and creating enough resistance to turn the axle. Use a second wrench to hold the other side while you tighten.
You need two wrenches, one to hold it still, the other to tighten the axle nut
Your threads are a bit rusty or slightly damaged, and the axel is turning as the nut binds…
Put a little lube on the threads, then Use both wrenches on both nuts at the same time, turning them in opposite directions to each-other…
If one nut binds on a bit of damaged thread, it will just transfer the tightening action to the other side, and eventually one side will be tight enough to pinch the cone-nuts to the frame, the axel will stop spinning, and you’ll be able to tighten both sides…
You do see what’s going on right OP? I replied to your other post about this yesterday. The nut is binding and turning the whole axle, therefore it’s not threading on.
You have to turn both nuts at the same time and hope they both thread on
Check if the thread inside the nut is damaged.
You need to grip both bolts at the same time.
Hold one still as you tighten the other. You should prob try and clean the threads as well as you can first
Too much resistance because of the rust you need to pin the axle down with another wrench or similar. Just use ur imagination you can do it this.
So, if you are “too weak” to turn them on now, how did you turn them off before?
