View Full Version : why is my axle/carrier/rotor loose?

here's the deal.

I took the rear end out of my wheeler to check everything and grease it up. The bearings were good and so was everything else. I put everything back together correctly and just got done tightening the axle lock nuts. I sat on my quad then rocked it left to right to make sure everything was tight. Wrong. It seems like the axle isnt seated correctly in the bearings or the brake rotor isnt seated tight enough against the housing. Anyone has this problem or have any suggestions?

Back off on the Jam nut and try to retighten the set nut. sounds like it just settled.. some times the brakes will hold it back a little.. just look to see it anything is binding.

which way did you tighten the axle nut? you want it to go all the way to the right side, not the left
