Rear axle stuck in place? Quote | Reply

ok so ive had my 02 zx6r for about a month. i took off the front and rear wheel to take them to get new tires put on. when i put the rear axle in the nut was facing the opposite side it was when i originally took it apart. also i had shortened the chain (it had an after market rear sprocket so i shortened it to fit the stock one, the one i was using was thrashed) and put a new master link on it. i tightened the master link down to much to the point where the o rings were squished and sticking out a little bit. anyway, everything seemed fine except the back wheel was slightly harder to roll than usual. didnt think anything about it and i just said f*ck the chain. anyway, i go about half a mile down the road and turn into a parking lot to turn around. im about to get back on the road and then my chain pops off, the bike shuts off and rolls a few feet and then the rear wheel locks(i was only going like 10 mph). the chain was all bunched up behind the front sprocket cover, i took care of that. however that is when i noticed the axle. i figured i would try turning the axle around and seeing if that fixed the problem but the axle wouldnt move for anything. any advice on gettin it out? its in the shop but they said itll be another week before there done. first off, i dont have alot of money to spend, and 2nd my bike is my only method of transportation right now.

any advice would be greatly appreciated
