Replacing right rear hub key?
Posted: Mon Aug 16, 2010 6:03 pm
Had a scare this weekend when I lost power to the right wheel following a couple of roto-flex surges. The surges were nothing out of the ordinary and I wasn't hitting the throttle hard when the power went. After jacking up the rear wheels I found the right wheel spinning freely on the outboard shaft and following removal of the hub it was clear this hub key (dowel) had given out.
Has anyone had a similar experience and had to replace this small but significant part? I talked with Dave Bean Eng. and they said they didn't have the part in stock. Do you know who may stock this part or if it can be cut to length from a suitable metal dowel? Any details would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Greg
