When it turned up just two days later I put it to good use and it worked perfectly. I made sure the threads were clear of any gunk to make screwing the large threads in just a tad easier.
I can image it would be very easy to strip a thread here so once I though I had screws it in one thread I spun the axle to see if the tool was off centre at all. That was the best preventative method I found.
The two cranks slipped off easily enough. Then the main bearing were srewed out. They were english or so I was told by the mechainic in our local bike shop Le Bicycle. This means that the drive side 36mm nut has a reverse thread. If the Bike is french or italian it has a conventional thread.
I forgot to bring my camera to the shop so I only have and after shot. The grand total of labour and a new 127mm cartridge axle was £25. I could not recommend Le Bicycle in West Wickham more the appreciation for older bikes you get in there is unlike anything I have experienced in any other bike shop.
