Liam, Keith has spent so much on his back end so to speak he will not entertain straight axle, but i agree, make life so much easier, reduction boxes are a nightmare, but what Keith wants Keith gets. each to there own dude eh.

Make your own or gasket sealent, think you can only get the one main gasket for when you split the reduction boxes anyway. David

Gasket set for reduction boxes required ASAP Empty A good tip when tightening or releasing rear axle/hub nuts

A good tip when tightening or releasing rear axle/hub nuts

Pack the space between the bottom of the shock absorber (red arrow in below pic) and the ground with wood. Jack the rear wheel slightly so that the bottom of the shock is raised 5mm and no more then put the wood under then lower the wheel back down.

The packing will ensure that the force you use to tightening or releasing is not lost through the bounce in the tyre.

Too much packing will have raised the tyre off the ground too much and allows it to spin.

Other tools

Something to chock the front wheels

At least a 3ft Long metal bar (scaffold pole)
