Title: rear axle
Post by: Al on November 09, 2010, 02:30:15 PM
hi everyone looking for advice iv got three axles but two of them are the same size and the other is smaller i was going to use the smaller one so was going to strip that one done to get hubs turned down but was wondering anyone know what axle it is from it is reliant but unsure what one also where can i get new bearings and oil seals

another question was has anyone changed the studs so that it would allow the wheel to be bolted with a bolt rather than a nut as unsure if the hub is thick enough for this to be done
anyhelp gratefully received 
thanks al

try this guy or ebay.you will have to measure the bearing and seals first as theres at least two different sizes

You could try this lot as well, so long as you know the sizes. I have used them loads of times and they are fast and well priced.

I'd be wary of http://i55.tinypic.com/10ril1e.jpg!!!  The half shaft tube seems to have been welded at some time and it's not concentric.  Any welder happy with such work should not be trusted and the axle is suspect.
