streetjibs Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 ok, 1st up my king hub is mint! all the upgrades (steel driveshell, bolt through axle etc etc)Being close to 6 years old its rarely skipped on me and never has it been bad... until 2 nights ago!Just riding along with a mate in the city and snap... very biiiig skip sent me into the bars and left a nice big shiney egg on my knee.after work last night (well at work - but hey the boss doesnt need to know!) I pulled it apart did a complete clean and put it back together complete with a fresh coat of the essential FinishLine Wet lube. Here is where my question comes - remember this is for the bolt through hd axle - so please only reply if u know what is going on.. THX when i undid the bolt on the collar and went to unscrew it to get the axle out... the collar spun around about one turn and is stuck! I was able to just pull the axle out but the collar seems to be wedged or stuck to the hub shell!!!! DUnno how!! but what it means is that when i put the axle back in it only needed 1turn of the collar to tighten it... so im guessing theres very little thread holding the collar to the axle (which i guess cant be good for it!) Does anyone know if this has happened before and what to do so i can free up the collar from the hub and allow it to screw onto the axle properly???? I hope the above makes sense... its really hard to explain. please post any questions about it - as i need to know what to do asap. Big THANKS!!!!! in advance.danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
