Re: Rear Axle Keys
I recommend driving around the block without installing the cotter pins after initial tightening, then re-torquing and installing pins. I do this 2 or 3 times.

Read and understand the LAST paragraph in the above BobC's post #17. Bt lapping the hub to the axle and getting a 100% surface, you can run WITHOUT a key in a STOCK model A application. It is NOT a heavy duty application. HOWEVER, it is near to impossible to get 100% surface on an axle and hub with machined surfaces that has been run/abused, corroded and pitted. |
