That sounds like a tricky problem.

For problem 1 you could try to use a screwdriver and hammer to gently tap it out of the tube (if I understand the situation correctly)

If the axle is moving laterally you could try to take it apart. Older...

Definitely try some padded shorts and cream.
And your butt will get tougher over time. Just make sure to give it time to heal.

Good luck!

This bike is the reason I am still sane after all this lock down. It has tons of features and is really stable.
Maybe the looks are not for everyone but it works for me.

I don't think the crank set has to be 7 speed specific.
As long as it has the same bolt pattern you should be able to fit the sprockets you want.
You do want to have the right width of sprockets so...

Awesome.
If you do want to upgrade, I would recommend getting better tires.
The tires make a massive difference to the feel and performance of the bike.

Enjoy the trails!

Definitely keep an eye on the used market. It's a bit crazy right but if you are quick you can still find good deals.
And I would also recommend going to a bike park and renting a 29er.
