Okay heres the deal I have a wolverine and the hub that the wheels are held on by is milled down to nothing in the inside of it. Is my axle ruined also? how can i tell? Do you know where to by performance Hubs, and or axles that i might need?.. GRR this dang wolverine needs some work. I was riding far away from my house and I started feeling it bumpier not as powerful ride. I stopped ride and noticed that my hub was almost falling off my axle and it would spin.. not locking in meaning that the hubs on the axle and or the hunb are totally dead.


HELPP MEE

as long as the threads that hold hub to the axle are fine, you will only need new hubs

 

hi, your axel my not be done for, all you have to do is simpily check the splines on your axel and if they are good then al you will need to do is replace the hub. GOOD LUCK

Well, I am curious to know if you are talking front hubs or rear hubs. Either way, the factory ones are not all that weak to begin with. I am still running the original hubs all the way around and my bike has put out twice the factory horsepower since '95. My concern would be that you (or the previous owner, if there were one) did not do regular maintance and make sure the hub nuts were torqued properly. Of all the machines I have ever seen with worn out hubs, it is because of operator error.

Just because there is a cotterkey through the hubnut does not mean that it will stay tight. I have actually seen keys get twisted. I lift the back of my machine and try to rotate the back wheels in opposite directions. If there is any play at all, re-torque. The front is hard to tell, so I just torque them to begin with.

Proper Maintenance is KEY.

 

Hey, if the Hub is ruined and the axle has its teeth all sheared off and you want to save some money, thats what I would do. heck the parts are all ready ruined so at least get the most out of your axle if you can. Just make sure its the side that the axle does not come off thru the swingarm.

 

My axles not ruined. I put the bigbear hub on and it works great. No problems with the axle
