Need quick fix my bike

[Arek]

Hi all.
I have small problem and need some good, solid, and reasonable priced fix my bike.
Ideally really close my town as I don't want to ride too far with it.

Try adjust my chain today and looks like one of the bolts for adjusting was quite weak.
Unfortunately I snapped it, so need it repaired/ replaced.
I did not adjusted chain yes since I bought my bike, and looks like it wasn't done for a while. Looks like parts not move like they should.
Short - they stuck. probably that was the reason that bolt was weak, as I suppose someone before me try to do that and gave up.

Checked and I can buy used pair on E-bay for £20 so parts are not issue, just don't want to break something else.

Any suggestions?

Do they look like this .....



Can you slide the axle out and remove the adjusters and get some grips on the remaining part of the thread inside the adjuster ?

Nope. It's inner swingarm part.

And I can't slide axle. Can't move it at all :-(
Used rubber mallet trying move it a bit, no luck.
Really I'm afraid use more force as it can end badly for parts and my wallet

Can you remove the end caps from the swingarm and spray wd40 in there . If the axle nut is loose and the end caps are off , the adjusters " should " move freely and slide out .

Back Wheel off the ground.

Remove spindle (this entails removing the rear wheel).

Once the spindle is out of the way you will be able to remove the broken adjuster. If not enough sticks out to grip then blast some slippery stuff in there and push it out from the hole the spindle goes through.

I really can't move or remove it. Stuck totally, WD40 not working.
I sort of know what I'm doing ;-) And I have tools for it.
This time I gave up as I really don't want to brake more stuff.
Of course can use more force for it, but I'm not keen to do that.

Undo the main nut completely. Take out the axle. A little heat, a load of WD40 and see how it is tomorrow.

I can't take out the axle, it not moving, even when I using mallet or small hammer to knock it out.
If I will be able to do that, my life will be easier probably :-)
Generally that's my main issue I think, as I don't want to damage it, or bearings, or anything around :-(

With the axle nut off completely, and a ratchet and socket on the other end of the spindle , will it turn ?

Nope. Even when I'm using meter long brake bar. Totally stand still. Half bottle of WD40 gone. I hit axle from both sides using hammer, still nothing
