General Tormek Questions / Re: Wheel nut "Freezes"

Have you tried lubricating the threads?  You could upgrade to the stainless EZY-Lock shaft.

Yep, tried lubrication.  I may order the stainless shaft but my guess is wrong technique.  Turning the wheel, not the nut works.  Thanks for the quick reply.

How are you trying to remove it?  Are you trying to simply turn the nut by itself?  I find it's far easier if you keep the assembly from turning by holding onto the honing wheel with one hand, and turning the grinding wheel - not the nut - in the opposite direction with the other hand.  The nut will come loose on it's own.

Thanks, been turning the nut.  Using the wheel works.  Maybe I missed it when looking over the instructions but if it is not included it should be.

General Tormek Questions / Wheel nut "Freezes"
September 19, 2012, 03:18:47 AM
The nut that holds the grinding wheel to the shaft on my T-7 is very hard to remove.  Harder to loosen with the standard wheel installed than the Japanese Water wheel but hard on both and seems to be getting harder with use.  I can see nothing wrong with the retainer or the shaft other than the retainer nut has a shallow circular groove on the back.  Is this common and what is the fix.
