gforce axle install any tips?

[RagunCajun]

Are you talking about putting lock-tite on the axen nut threads or the screw that goes into the big nut?

 

I put some on the screw that goes into the nut.

i didnt use any but if i ever have a problem id put blue lock tight not red. red is a little harsh for just an axle nut. but if u use the little thing that locks the nut i dont see how it can back off.

Its pretty straight forward.

You want to loosen the locknuts on the stock axle before you do anything else.

There are many ways to do this. Sometimes it will be a painful task. Lol

Once you have that did, remove tires & hubs.

Remove the locknuts. Loosen chain and remove sproket hub, it should slide off.

Pull axle out through right side of carrier. Slide brake disc hub off axle.

Install is reverse.

I would recommend cleaning out your carrier before you install the new axle. And

install new bearings and seals while you have it apart.

Pack it with grease and dont forget to re-install the spacer

between the bearings.

Once you are back up and running, periodically check the new locknut and tighten

as necessary.

This is all you need & you're good! I had to use a big wrench with pipe over it to get the first stock locknut off, second one wasn't budging so I attacked with the grinder. I didn't use loctite either. The G Force uses a posi locknut. No prob's here.

I like the black on your sprocket hub man, is the brake hub the same ?

What did you use ...im going to paint my hubs black this winter so i was just wondering how much preping did it take to look that good.
