Powerstroke Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Well I went out this morning to rock my new T5s and Knarlys and BAM look what happened. Is this common or just a fluke? So it looks like I have a couple options new/used OEM or Aftermarket. What are your experiences and opinions? Quote
CBAIER1206 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Never seen that happen before...Guess that's why people upgrade to billet! Good thing that piece is only like 30 bucks or so... Quote
bbcmudtruck Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Just get a new oem hub. If I were you, I would go ahead and replace the outer hub as well. Should be around $50 total. Quote
fastrthnu Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 WTF ! ! ! ! ! ! x2. Dont think Ive seen that happen before. Possibly a lil over torque of the spring bolts? I have one $25 shipped if yannit. Ill throw in some of those spring bolt n presure plate to if ya need em. Quote

I'll try another OEM before I spend the big dollars. Quote
KaosBanshee44 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Damn that's fucked up, yeah i would get a billet basket and replace the inner hub with a oem. Boss racing has a nice basket. Quote
FASTOYS Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 We have had great luck with OEM inner/outers and Magnum baskets (on our site). No need for high $ inner/outers. I would say those must have been overtorqued or pryed on as that is NOT common..? Quote

I have only had this bike 6 months but I promise it will go back together with a torque wrench for sure. What happens to the basket? Looks like a good time to do the shift star mod I'll be in touch after I get the pieces from Fastrthnu :thumbsup: Quote
J-Madd Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 I've seen it before, and also believe the springs were overtorqued. It doesn't take much. Quote
brian Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Those bolts yield after a few times being torqued. I had one break on me before reaching the proper torque last time I was into mine. DO NOT use any of those used bolts when puting it back together !! Get all new ones. :thumbsup: Quote
