Is the rear brake rotor supose to have some play in it? The hub that's on the axle moves a little. If that isnt right, how do I tighten the rotor hub?

use a big pipe wrench on the big nut on the axel, then roll the quad backwards and it will tightn up. then wrap the big nut and threads with electrical tape to keep it from loosening again...

if thats what you mean?

Yeah the hub next to the axle nut is loose. I didnt know if that was suposed to have a little play in it. Cuz all my friend's 450s and 400s were loose lol. Im guna tighten mine up. Oh and I need a new rotor, where would be a good place to get one?

the outer nut should be torqued to 65lbs and the inner jam nut to 94lbs. Just went through this with the 450 brake conversion.
