Hi,

Depending on the age of your bike, you may need to change the spread of the fork. The size of the wheel: is it 26", 27" or 700C? The old hub would have to be replaces as the bolt is solid and not hollow like the QR hubs.

If you could tell me the age of your bike and make, I should be able to give you good recommendation. DebW also has wealth of information.

For bolts/nuts too tight/frozen, use a cheater bar (a long pipe) and manly gorilla (I usually ask 6' tall bruiser kind of guy, my neighbor. They are so much stronger). Also apply some special penetrating oil to release the frozen nuts and let it soak for about a day or two.
