Default Re: 1990 Ezgo secondary clutch or rear axle issue

Well, after ax extra day due to a wife tire issue, we took the diff cover off and there was no extra parts in it. Took the rear wheels off and the drivers hub and voila!!!! stripped spline in the hub on one side. Now I am off to locate a hub, diff seal, and lube to put it all back together.

Great news!

The diff cover is simply sealed with silicone gasket maker.

It is crazy I had just read this thread the other day and started to hear a chunk in the rear when the boys would go from forward to reverse and back to forward like a U joint in a truck was starting to go.

Now the rear drivers side axle nut is spinning and the cart will not go. How do we fix this bad boy for the kids?

Cheers Don.

DonoBBD- to replace the hub, you will need to loosen the axle nut and remove the hub and brake drum. You may need to loosen the brake shoe adjuster if the brake drum won't slide off. Hopefully the hub splines are the only ones that are stripped and the axle splines are OK.

What do you do to fix it once off? Just weld her up?

If the hub splines are stripped and the axle splines are OK, buying a new hub and installing it would be the best way to repair it.

If the hub AND axle splines are stripped out, then if it was mine, I probably would try welding them together.

Ok splines on the axle are totally fine but the hub has been stripped out. Not totally but just enough. So I just cranked it on with the impact and it is working but not for long. I guess a new hub or what about drilling a hole and taping it out for a allan key set just like the secondary? I bet that would work great and it would still be able to come apart still.

Thoughts???????

Cheers Don.

I don't think an allen style set screw could take all of that force for long. Set screws typically just prevent a hub from sliding sideways on a shaft. I suppose you could try it as long as you don't damage the axle in any way.
