District V2, Back Axle issues

[Bennett_J]

My back axle is stuck inside the dropout/wheels... I cannot pull it out all the way, I get 1/4th of it out then It wont come out anymore... Help?

 

[Stackies]

Get an allen wrench and hammer it through.

 

[Bennett_J]

I tried that, it seemed to make the problem worse

 

[mason buckley]

that should fix it, take a diff axle and put it in the other side and nock it out

 

[Stackies]

Hammer the head of the axle if its sticking out far enough.

this worked, It turns out that one of the spacer things on the inside of the deck is dented, so the axle has problems going in and out... Whatever

Any recomendations on how tight I should have my axles tightened with metal cores?

 

[Mikey G]

Just tighten them down. It doesn't matter how tight they are, since the bearings will still spin. That's what they are meant to do. Just make sure you don't strip the axle threads. It sucks.

 

[parrish]

yeah it does
and also make sure you have bearing spacers

 

[Bennett_J]

and also make sure you have bearing spacers

... which are?
I just switched over from Plastic cores so I am very... Noobish with this shit

 

[BenJelinek]

Your still supposed to have bearing spacers in plastic cores but anyway they are the spacer that's a little smaller then the axle spacer and it goes in between your bearings

 

[Bennett_J]

The little circle inside your wheels? I have those

 

[BenJelinek]

Then put em in

 

[airplanes18]

mine did that too. if you can get it out, sand the edges of the tip of it. no idea why it does that but it does.

 

[Coltonscoots]

take a big phillips screwdriver and grind it against the edges of the holes on the deck. also it helps to take out the square plastic thingys...

 

[Bennett_J]

Then put em in

They are, I thought he meant washers on the outside of the bearings or something
