As some of you may know, i have been working on an old supercross for a while getting the basics right.
I took it for a blast on Monday, and i have broken it...
My own fault i must admit.
On one of the rear wheels, the square part that fits into the wheel was fitted (bt me) the wrong way round and i did not push the wheel fully onto it.
After a while the car was going slower and slower, and evetyually, i stopped it to see what was up.
The square shaft things was spinning inside the rear wheel, and teh diff was taking the strain.
I took the wheel off (this has now had it), and noticed there was some play in one section of the gearing as the brub screws were not tights.
After disengaging the gears, the engine and pinion spin freely, and the diff works smoothly, but there are two more bearings that a graunchy that need replacing.
Is there a quick way of getting these bearings out...? (the brake disc sits on this axle)
I know a picture would be good, but i will ahve to wait till i get home this weekend.
Cheers
