I have a frame whose rear drop out spacing is about an 1/8" smaller than the hub body that I want in there.. I dont want to buy a new hub, or worse frame..

I have tried all-thread, nuts and washer rig to "spread" the tubing but I get a spring back when I remove the rig to install the wheel..

I have tried a car jack, heavy piece of cheater pipe to spread and pry...No luck with the spring back..

Please help !! I can't be the only one that has this happen to them...
