Rear axel bolt (Read 52 times)

Henrik Junior Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 70 Sweden, Jönköping Gender:	Rear axel bolt 05/13/14 at 01:23:12 Just wondering, when reinstaling the wheel, should I grease the rear axel bolt and if so what kind of grease should I use?

And the entire rear whee; assembly will be more quiet. The sealed wheel bearings are not perfect, sometimes they make noise or have tight spots. The grease will let them slip instead of stick. It also helps prevent rust... and the axle will rust eventually without it.

A paper towel with some grease on it....then wipe it on the axle in a thin coat. As WD says it helps with the installation.....and stops corrosion so you can be the axle back out again a few years later when that tire is worn out.
