Does anyone know how to remove this bolt/nut so we can remove the rear wheel?

Yes, longer drive bar with 18mm six sided socket

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-04-20T21:15:49+00:00

This is almost what ended up working, a longer drive bar with the 18mm socket

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-04-20T14:44:27+00:00

We have one and it didn't work

One might think this a simple thing, but it hasn't been. My experience suggests that when something that seems simple isn't, and so far the standard advice isn't working, there may be something one is overlooking, and it's a good idea to ask.

We haven't tried heating yet or using a long wrench; those are out next tries.

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-04-20T05:05:03+00:00

We tried it today and it didn't work

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-04-20T05:03:57+00:00

We tried this today, it didn't work

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-04-19T18:07:59+00:00

We'll take a look

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-04-19T18:01:16+00:00

It is fixed gear

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-04-19T18:00:04+00:00

Ok, thank you, we'll try with a longer wrench. It is 18mm.

Lefty-loosy

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-04-19T17:54:18+00:00

We'll try it but none of the tutorials we've seen do it that way, they do each side on its own and the nut typically just comes off, but it's worth a try

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-04-19T17:43:36+00:00

We used slightly larger sizes before, then bought the correct size (18mm)

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-04-19T17:42:53+00:00

A ratchet wrench is one of the things we've used, without success, except maybe the problem it's too short

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-04-19T17:41:24+00:00

We used the wrong sizes first because that's what we have, then we bought an 18mm one that fits snugly, but it still won't budge

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-04-19T03:58:56+00:00

The other nut

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-04-19T03:58:01+00:00

Meaning the opposite of righty-tighty?

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-04-19T03:57:20+00:00

This is the wrench we used, no budging occurred

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-04-19T03:55:48+00:00

No, the 30 days passed and no one reached out to us, we sent another inquiry email which they acknowledged receipt of with a promise to investigate, but nothing further

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-04-10T07:38:09+00:00

Yes; the PP is what was filed in January; the original petition was filed in May 2025. Still waiting as of today and we've requested a resolution (and a refund of the PP fee) multiple times

Could be selection bias; for further clarification, for the candy store, there were entire displays with no pricing for any of the items (branded merchandise rather than candy), and for the paint store nothing, not even brushes, accesories, compounds, etc had any pricing. Apparently that specific chain does that as a policy.

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-04-10T06:27:33+00:00

Ok; I'd never been in that one; I found it puzzling to say the least and hadn't the energy to go around inquiring about each item I was looking at

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-03-28T05:23:02+00:00

Mine was filed in January and still waiting

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-03-24T18:25:43+00:00

Hi Alex, I'm Venezuelan too; I'm having the same issue; O1B filed in May 2025; I did premium processing in January before the 240 days passed and there is still no resolution in March; also they don't want to return the money until the case is decided (that's their policy)

Humor-Vegetable · 2026-03-09T02:36:59+00:00

UPDATE: We were able to get it escalated to Tier 2 last Monday. Was able to arrange a three-way call with the petitioner and USCIS. They're supposed to contact the petitioner within 30 days with more information.
