2002 txt rear axle problems
Had a friend stop by the house today to have me look at his cart. 2002 TXT the driver side rear tire was making a grinding noise. What I found was the brake drum was canted off on an angle. He has 2" billet spacers so my thought was he had a loose bolt on the spacer possibly. Removed tire to check it out. The billet nuts were all tight so I tried to remove the drum to get a better look. When I pulled the drum the whole drive shaft came out with it. Bearing and seal were almost completely gone and I found a bent piece of metal which I can only assume was the C clip. He told me he had a shop repair this 3 times in the last year. My question is what would cause this to keep going bad and how do I fix it. I have worked on a lot of carts but never an EZGO and I have not replaced any rearend parts. Does anyone know of a video or step by step post that I could refer to so I can get this fixed for him. Thanks all

Re: 2002 txt rear axle problems
Yeah, get rid of the spacers. They act as a "longer lever" to put loads on the bearings.

Re: 2002 txt rear axle problems
That is what i was thinking CG spacers acting like a fulcrum. Definately going to get rid of them. Do you or any of the others on here have the OEM part number for the bearing replacement kit I started looking last night but I am not sure exactly what number parts I need to order. Thanks all for your help.

My 2002 left rear wheel is grinding too. The bearing was fine but I replaced it anyway. It's still doing it.

Re: 2002 txt rear axle problems
Below is a link to the OEM Axle Bearing Kit, but it appears to be on backorder at EZGO.
Google the part number and you'll get several alternate sources. https://shop.ezgo.com/products/Beari...tric-Axle.html |

Re: 2002 txt rear axle problems
If the seal is okay the bearing is a 6004-RS.. Most auto parts places have it.

I just did a complete bearing and seal replacement on the wife's txt and all the bearing came from the local parts place, the only thing I had to get from ezgo was the welch/freeze plugs for the intermediate gear shaft |
