ned1 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 yooooo, i have recently purchased a king hub and have bolted it into the frame and have noticed a slight amount of play in the hub, so the cones obviously need tightening. So after searching the forum it became clear that undoing the 3/32 lockring would be a good idea and to take out the axel and inspect so i have done this. I have put it back together although i am failing to find a spanner type fitting or anything to tighten the cones. I basically have no idea where they are, is the cone the lockring with the 3/32 allen key fitting? and if not how do i tighten up the cones?..also i want to run some sort of lubricant down the axel to keep it running nicely...another outcome of my search was to use finishline lube although it has not been made clear so is this a good lubricant to use or not?thanks alotchris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave85 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 By the sounds of things, you've got the HD axle. This is tightened by loosening the 3/32" bolt, turning the collar clockwise so it's finger tight, then just nipping the 3/32" bolt up to hold it. Finishline wet is a very good lube to use on the bearings, spread a fair amount around on the steel parts of the axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
