89 E Z GO differential schematic

xchief · 09-27-2008, 08:36 PM

My 89 will not move. It was running fine when the grand kids took off but they had to push it home. The motor runs but no movement of wheels at all. Assuming something stripped in the differential. Is it all gear driven from the motor? Any one able to send me a schematic/drawing of the rear end so I can take it apart and repair? Any and all help appreciated

Check the rear hubs.

Sorry for being so dumb PGGROVES, but this is my first cart by about 2 months. Can you explain more on "check the rear hubs"? Do I need to drain the rear end before doing anything? How is the motor coupled to the internal drive gears?

Anyone have a drawing/parts list breakdown they could scan and email to me?

Again Thanks for any help.

EZGO's are notorious for stripping the splines on the hub. You should be able to take the dust cover off (right in the center of the hub) and if the nut is turning while pressing on the throttle your hubs are stripped. If just one is stripped it won't move.

Sorry, I sometimes forget that.

Just like roady says:

Take off the hubcap or center cap of wheel.
This exposes the dust cap covering the axle nut.
Pry off the dust cap and you will see a castle nut and a cotter pin. This is the axle nut.
Have someone gently press the accelerator peddle while you observe the axle nut.
If the nut spins and the wheel doesn't move your hub is stripped.

Search this forum for "stripped hub" and there are several posts on how to go about changing the rear hubs (aka brake drum).

Good luck.
