My axel washers with the felt axel seal would always cup and the torque of 125 ft. lbs. was lost. I got a machine bushing, 5/8" x 1" x 14 ga. and a hardened flat washer 5/8". The machine bushing is an exact size replacement for the felt seal and now it supports the flat washer and it doesn't cup any more. At Lowe's, 2 in a pack. Al |

I would only add that (maybe) a lot of people do not realize that that KEY is not what should be depended upon to hold an axle in proper relation to the drum hub ! Especially, if you do not lap the hub to the axle taper, make sure to check the nut 'tightness'/torque from time/time. The picture shown here in this thread, IS what to expect...sooner/later...if the rear axle nut is not torqued adequately. Torque it or loose it !! |
