Installation of rear wheel hub
1. Check for damage
to the hub prior to installation, the studs for stretching, and the fixing
bolts for the head
being rounded off and for any cracks.
2.Fit the steel key way on the axle and then slide
the hub over the axle so the key
locates in the hub
3. Position to desired setting and
tighten up the retaining bolt/bolts
NOTE - DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE FIXING BOLTS
AS YOU COULD CRACK THE HUB OR STRIP THE THREAD, SOME OF THESE ARE CAST ALLOY AND NOT MACHINE AND
THEY A SUSEPTABLE TO CRACKING
DUE TO WEAKNESS IN THE CASTING PROCESS, THE Machined HUBS WHICH ARE FAR MORE COMMON ARE LESS LIKELY TO CRACK, ALSO BE
CAREFULL IF A STAINLESS STEEL BOLT IS FITTED AS THERE USUALLY STEEL HELICOILS FITTED WHICH
WHEN A STAINLESS BOLT IS FITTED WILL REACT TOGETHER AND BIND UP, IT IS ALWAYS A COULD
IDEA TO USE A LUBRICANT WHEN USING STAINLESS TO STAINLESS
