johnmc408 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 (2003 Pampera) Hi, I removed the front axle to look at the brakes and their overall condition and after I put the axle back on, when I tighten the nut (even a bit), the wheel stops spinning. I have done this before on my Sherco trials for a tire change, so I wasn't expecting any problems... I did notice that the left side of the axle has mushroomed out a bit probably due to hitting it. It is probably 1/8inch out from flush. The only thing I can think of is to get a new axle and see if this helps. Wanted to check before I purchase. Thanks!

johnmc408 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Thanks Jim, that makes sense. Because the Sherco uses 37 foot pounds on that nut and the prior owner of the Pamp had a blob of "glue" on many nuts, I didn't get a great feel for how tight it was screwed on (it is a BIG nut after all ;-) I am sure the axle won't come out as it is in there pretty tight, but I might put some blue locktite or some glue to make sure the nut doesn't fall off. BTW I have 1 pinch bolt on left and 2 on the right (when looking at the bike). The pink slip says 2003, but when I did the VIN decode it was made in Oct 2002. It is a very fun bike! Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
