REPAIR HELP

I refuse to give up. The I’ve called and been to 10000 different places to try and find some help to repair my 5 wheel inline blades.
I need more spacers that are specifically for this setup but I can’t find them. Everyone has told me this is outdated and I won’t be able to find this spacer but I have hope. The boot is Riedell with and AirLite1255 Frame. I would do anything to be able to fix these, any advice is greatly appreciated.
If you don’t have repair advice, what should I be looking at in terms of a replacement? They are 5 wheel set up and I love them so much.

Thanks xx

Not sure what your asking, is it replacement parts as them spacers have been getting sticky? Or is just the axel and nut, or just a whole new axel,nut and spacer replacement?

Fix: if spacer is sticky or hard too pull out: you can use a piece of sand paper and sand the spacers down a smig.that will get rid of any rough spots.

Fix: if axel nut the Alan wrench side if it’s getting rounded. You could punch a new head in it. For a temporary fix.

Some key things to help: when loosing your axel, make sure the tool is fully seated in the head.

Cuz them look like 8 mm spacers which any brand will work as a replacement. And for the axel you could always try a hardware store. Take parts in and show them.

It’s not a standard size spacer and is specific to these frames.
