[QUOTE="td center, post: 846601, member: 53605"] Sorry to cross post this, but came out of a conversation in one of the riding chapter's forums. On my 2000 Honda CR125 I am trying to put my back wheel back on my bike after setting the adjustment screws to get the right chain tension(1.5" slack), and the wheel straight. At first I was having problems that when I tightened the axle nut, the chain side axle block would move a mark or two back away from where I had it pressed against the adjustment screws. Then after that problem I tightened the wheel's axle nut to factory specs(94 ft/lbs.) and then the wheel would not spin without a [B]lot[/B] of pressure only to get it to move an inch or two. Well, this is where I am at now: "Well took the axle back out regreased the axle and axle spacers, and still somewhat of the same problem. First I was still having the problem of when tightening the axle nut that the axle block would move away from the adjustment screw. So I rotated the axle 180 degrees(didn't switch sides the nut was on....just spun the axle so the grooves in the block were now touch the other side of the flat end on the axle) This [b]stopped[/b] the axle blocks from moving away from the adjustment screws which is what I was hoping for, but still after tightening to 94 ft/lbs the wheel didn't want to turn. I checked the axle spacers had clicked into place correctly and they were fully greased but still didn't want to turn more than an inch when trying to spin the wheel. Also I noticed, when putting the axle in, I was able to slide it in with my hand for the first 3/4 of the axle(though still needed some force) but that to get the last 2 inches of the axle into the hub, I needed to use a mallot. Is this normal? Thanks for any more suggestions you may have!" Any help is really, really, really appreciated. :cool: [/QUOTE]
