Stuck Bolt in Hub

[B1105]

Ok, so I got my Echo Team today, and while assembling it, I went to put the front wheel on, and one of the bolts seem lodged in the hub, There is like 1cm of space but its not enough to fit the fork on it. This bolt is on the non-disc side of the hub.
Any ideas on how to get it undone? I sprayed teflon all over the threads and such, but still nothing.

hmmm, if its what i think, tighten down the other side really good, then try and uncrew it..........

ok,I dont have the bike on me, its at the shop, but I will try tmrw. Its one of those Echo hubs if that helps.

Another question, is it easy to change hoses on Maguras? My Hs33 is a bit short on the Echo Team long, so I'm guessing I will need to soon, and hopefully shops in CO will have some hose? I'm leaving this Saturday for the Springs area.

One last question, I was putting on the front freewheel today (ACS Claw), and I'm assuming I screwed it onto the crank right, but from the way it feels, it seems like the threading is reverse, because if I were to put a wheel and chain on, and turned the wheel backwards, the cranks would move, but I thought in FFW setups, this doesnt happen?

sorry for all these stupid questions

Nope, the only way to get your cranks to stay still while the rear wheel is going backwards is to have a coaster brake, a neutral set-up, or a flatland wheel with a freecoaster hub, the advantages of a FFW are more numerous than being able to roll backwards though. Increased ground clearance, supersmall bashrings on stock bikes, white industries freewheels are cheaper than king hubs, etc....

your cranks will move no matter what kind of hub system you use, unless its one of those freecoaster things that goes either way, but ffw works just the same as a normal hub, minus the chain moving.

to change your hose you just need olives and fittings methinks, and alot of shops will probably have it for you.

and for your hub, it might scratch it but alot of them have like a bolt or something outside the hubshell but before the bolt, just grap that with like a pipewrench or vicegrip then undo the bolt for the axle, if that doesnt work you can do like chris said.
