April 27, 201114 yr Hi so on my 83 BRAT my pin on the axel nut came off allowing the nut to slowly loosen and pop off and with it went the axel can i pop it back on or do i have to replace anything but the pin?
April 27, 201114 yr you need a better description of what you are talking about.maybe a pic would help......
April 27, 201114 yr Author you need a better description of what you are talking about.maybe a pic would help...... I don't have a camera anymore it got lost so basically the axel nut fell off and the CV spindles got pulled out of place so its kind of just resting there. theres about a cm of the piece where you put the axel nut sticking out of the rotor if that makes sense
April 27, 201114 yr My guess is that you stripped the threads while it was spinning. Can you put the axle nut back on?
April 27, 201114 yr Author its too far back theres just not enough room but it doesnt look like the threads are stripped
April 27, 201114 yr If you can put the nut back on I would think it would be good to go. I had the same thing happen to me once but the threads were stripped from spinning in the joint and I had to replca the axel.
April 28, 201114 yr push/pull it back through to show the threads.if the SPLINES are ok that is.the splines are what actuate the hub to move.if those are stripped you may need a new hub, and or axle. cheers, b
