xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 About a month 1/2 ago i picked up a durablue eliminator axle for $40. its missing all hardware except the locking nut. it will soon be time that i start my quest for parts but my question is. on the axle nut that locks the axle to the carrier it has a inner threaded sleeve that slides on the axle and a outer nut that screws on to the sleeve. the question is , is that when its screwed on it still slides off. am i missing something? i dont get it. i dont understand the concept of this damn locknut. i can get pics if needed.

flyhighprerunner Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 K if i understand correctly there is a C-clip that goes in that grove you put that on, and the threaded piece will rest against it then put your carrier and everything else on and the big nut looking thing, you use that to tighten and loosen the carrier...hopefully this helps.

bbcmudtruck Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 You have it on backwards. Turn it around and a big c-clip fits on that groove in the splines. Quote
xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Posted October 8, 2008 thanks guys. i wasnt sure about that clip. Quote

Misssppelllleddd Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 watch jumping anything big with that thing. ive bent two of those things jumpin before.. fuckin junk. WORD! I broke one after 10 hours of riding. Broke it right in half. When my second one goes bad I'm going to LSR! Quote
Tim Potteiger Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 LSR is so full of win, I almost fell for a less expensive Durablue, but was talked out of it by a smart friend who said they are too easy to bend or break. LSR has taken a helluva beating for 9 years now, with no trouble. Quote
