JT! Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Maybe a tiny amount of locktite on the threds. Just to stop them from vibrating loose.I'm no expert on CK hubs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Un do the axle!Keeping the allen key in the drive side axleDo up the lock ring really tight with you fingers only. Push down on to it helps!Then fit the non drive side axleTighten up so the will will pull one side, 110LB is a fair wack of torque!Check the bearings do not bind.Go ride!If you keep getting the probs it'll be due to it being ridden whilest lose! You'll need to take it all apart. Get some BLUE locktight.Cover all the threads on the axle once they are dead clean and just leave them over night. Like how you get some crank bolts covered in the blue stuff!Do all ther above! This should sort it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
