    the correct name is shaft retainers.
    or spring grip retainers
    Get some gorm.
  • Lol, i've heard all sorts of names for them now. Found my local hardware store do all sizes for a princely 3p each so will have to take the wheel shaft there to get the right size.

    Ormus - tried prizing the washers off the neighbours old wheels but it's damn difficult when you have to use brute force considering the wheels limit access to them.

    They are not intended to be easy to get off. If they were, they would have a tendency to work loose on their own.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
