Reply to "rear hub rebuilding"

George PAdmin.

I'll add 2 cents to explain the benefit of the new axles,

As Mr DeRyke has explained it in the past, the rear axle bearing was designed for an interference fit. The axle OD however was undersized, for a slip fit. This leads to premature bearing failure. The fix is to have the axle built up & remachined to the proper OD, or to purchase the aftermarket axles, which are suposedly built to the proper OD. Those aftermarket axles are expensive buggars.

I've not addressed this problem myself, just passing on what I've read in the past. I trust Mr DeRyke's judgement 100%.

I believe the new axles in the oem bearings make more sense than the modifications to the rear hub carriers that others have made. The oem design appears sound to me.

The side benefit of the aftermarket axles is increased strength & durability, for use behind more powerful motors or to withstand the abuse of racing.
