Tighten the locknuts, refit wheel and job is done - plus no more collapsing seizing wheel.
I got the axle out and the bearings on the non drive side fell,out, it’s not that that is the problem. The block(gear cassette seems stuck even with the axle removed it won’t spin freely, it’s catching on something.
