Whizzer pacemaker rear wheel

[Hukah]

I’m trying to repair and paint a 48 pacemaker and having a Dickens of a time removing and replacing this rear wheel on this thing. The axle bolt is too long to let it pass beyond the hoops. Is there something I’m missing or is everybody else have the same problem?
How do you deal with it?
Thanks for any help

That’s amazing.
Hard to understand how/why a company would intentionally design such an atrocity.
Thanks for your help.

Some people fabricated a turnbuckle to spread the frame.

Place the rear between two poles or objects. Twist a rope until it spreads. Fix and unwind.
