Yes! process should be exactly the same as long as your new axle is the same width as your old one. The new axle will likely come with a correct length QR skewer

It’s the same idea, just requires a bit more measuring. Best to measure the old axle first and replicate how far it sticks out from each end. It won’t be symmetrical because of the cogs

I may try that next, it’s a very similar process but requires more complicated measurements to offset the freehub width

On a rear wheel, the lever would be on the non-drive side so that it doesn’t interfere with the derailleur. It’s customary to match the front wheel lever location to the same side, but it’s not required

@@IsaacWalsh That makes sense. I'll try it :-) I just can't get my back wheel to stop wobling into the frame and I have stripped it down, changed bearings and greased everything. Here goes :-)

Sounds like your wheel may need to be trued. Take it to a bike shop and see if they can straighten it out before reinstalling, if it’s wobbly that’ll make the biggest difference

@@IsaacWalsh |I will. I went out on it yesterday and I ended up on my back within 30 yards. I am not stupid but there is something big that I am missing. I carried the bike home on my shoulder cussing. I am wondering if it wasn't made for a quick release squewer. But like you say ..Bike shop is next 🙂
