Anybody familiar with removing an idler wheel axle?
Here is the issue; when I attempt to remove bolts (part #39) from the axle (part #29 in the picture), I can only remove one bolt. Once the bolt is out and I try to remove the other the axle just spins. It seems that there is no way to hold the axle so the other bolt can be removed. I've tried to put in a bolt with a jam nut on one side and then remove the other, but the jam nut/bolt just spin with the axle. The picture only shows once side of the skid, but the other side is the same. I've been losing sleep over this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
