Installation of a new axle where all bearings and
housings are retained on chassis
1.Ensure bearings and housings are clean and inspected for
damaged and are in a loose condition and bearings are in good condition.
2.Understand the orientation of the axle as it
has a keyway for the brake disc carrier.
3. Grease up the
axle and slide into the first bearing, engine side first, this is where all
the axle preparation
pays off.
4. Don't forget that
prior to the last bearing the brake disc carrier has to be slid over the axle
and lined up
with the key way.
5.Continue to slide the axle in and roughly
line up equal - equal on the chassis.
6.Tighten up the bearing attachment bolts and
set the axle.
7.Fit the grub screws and tighten up so they
pinch the axle and stop it moving.
8.Check again the axle is equal-equal
protruding either side and then fully tighten the grub screws
9. Then position the
brake disc centrally within the calliper and tighten all previously loosened bolts, ensuring the carrier pinch bolt is the
first one you tighten and then all the disc to carries.
10.The axle is now set ready for installation of
sprocket carrier and hubs
