Title: Installing rear axle how do I center in the mount?
Post by: erickmarciano on March 11, 2019, 21:12:59

Hi guys
Want to install my rear axle . What is easier? Should I install the center bolt in the mount or should I take the mount off the 4 bolts , install the center bolt then put back the 4 bolts?
Thanks
Erick

Normally the center bolt is attached last. In fact there is a factory cone shaped tool which is place on top the vertical arm, to help center it into the hole while the rear end is raised into place. Once in place, the special cone tool is removed and the bolt is installed.
