Had no issues with the rear wheel adjustment, but what a fight at the front. How do you hold the axle and the sleeve nut tight tight while tightening the locknut? (new nut thanks to Henk). Seems like a 3-hand job, every time I nipped up the locking nut, it twisted the sleeve nut tighter and tightened the bearings too tight. AAAArgh !! Any tips?
I clamp the opposite end of the spindle in a soft jaw vice and then I'm free to adjust the bearing with two spanners. (a thin one on the inner nut). With the wheel clamped horizontally in a vice, it's also easy to spin it and feel the free play. Ron

Thanks Ron and Ian, I was going to do just that but thought there must be a different method, seems a bit cumbersome and certainly not an "in-the field" adjustment.
