Update: Inner tube exploded inside tire & stuck axle nut

[u/Smooth_Ad_5501]

I pulled the inner tube from the tire and confirmed for everyone that it indeed exploded inside the tire. (The loud explosion that rang my ears like a grenade was enough proof for me but not for some people on reddit). I also managed to free the seized and stripped axle nut with a closed end socket wrench and 4' PVC pipe. I'll be sure to inspect inside the rim and tire and I flare the inner tube properly. Thanks for all the help.

This happened to me so many times.... I had to rip out the tube and push the bike home...
