Woah It's on there tight!

Next trick? 2x 5 pence pieces

You removed the little slim steel washer?

What stops the bolt from pushing out

It's screwed into the opposite end of the bottom bracket spindle.

It's screwed into the opposite end of the bottom bracket spindle.

So the bolt needs to be the same pitch as the bb thread an it screws all the through
My bb thread is approx m12 but I can't get anything bigger than an m8 bolt through the length of the axle as there is a step inside it

Yes, like this. It ain't pretty but.....


But I also have this, I'd forgotten about, just an M10 cap head bolt;

It would be simpler to just buy the correct tool. You've already wasted 5p and committed treason by defacing the monarch.
