KX axle installation question

Post by turtle »

how do you guys hold the axle when torquing the nut? do you have a piece of hex stock that you slide into the axle or do you use the pinch bolts on the forks? or do something else entirely? :grin:

The axle usually holds itself when you tighten the nut, make sure it is fully tapped in & you have not damaged the thread on the axle or the nut will be hard to take up the first part of the thread making the axle spin.
