ajs425 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAugur33 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 My guess is that you stripped the threads while it was spinning. Can you put the axle nut back on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajs425 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 its too far back theres just not enough room but it doesnt look like the threads are stripped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAugur33 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajs425 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 ok thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
