I recently bought a new axle, however I decided to paint the sprocket hub. The hub slid down real easy and I was able to remove the retaining clip underneath it.
Well now I am trying to put everything back together and I don't feel comfortable with that retaining clip. Before I tighten the axle nut on the brake side, I noticed the retaining clip under the sprocket hub is able to move it around (not flush in the grove). I am able to tightn the axle nut and everything feels tight, but I just have a bad feeling about that clip.
I did some research but nothing definative. One site said you have to "press the sprocket. Hub off" but I didn't have too. Was easy
I am thinking about taking everything apart and try to make that retaining clip little smaller so it fits flush in the grove.
Any suggestions or comments.
