Re: Stake your axle nuts!




we discovered that the axle nut had worked it's way
loose and it looks like the hub/bearing is destroyed...  The weird
thing is we just swapped out the hubs about a month ago with ones I
had lying around, and I remember specifically torquing the axle nuts
to the proper torque...

It's nearly impossible to remove the hubs without damaging the bearings.
(providing the hubs are in good shape..they are a press-fit into the bearing
races)
My guess is that you did properly torque the nuts, but that the damaged
bearings were the cause of  Sean's problems.

A good rule of thumb is to replace the bearings and the hubs at the same
time.
