I have a axle problem. The left side wheel and hub came off axle. I'm fine but the axle ground on the splines of the hub and ruined both the axle and the hub. I need to replace both. Does anyone know the sizes and how to remove axle. Ally I saw your post on the from 50 to 150 but I can't figure where the clips are. What is the dust cover. I remove the hub nut and the hub but don't know from that point how to remove axle. I'm sure Rapid can get the parts but I need to remove. 150cc. Thanks Ally and others for help Tom I bought the trike and the fellow that owned it before didn't use cotter keys. Geez a real killer at 40 mph

How in the hell they they come off? The Castle Nut MUST not have had a Cotter pin in it? But anyways ok here is the DUST cover and the CLIP is right behind it as well as the bearing. Alleyoop   WAS THERE A COTTER PIN IN THE CASTLE NUT LIKE THIS:  Now look at your AXLE and see if you have the Safety Floating rings which is held by the two bolts in this picture. If you do you have to take the two bolts out to take the axle out.  |

Hi and Thanks Ally Again... Was in traffic at 40 when nut came off. The only thing that saved me was the fender held the wheel on the axle. It stripped the splines as I said. Checked other side after I got load out of pants. No cotter pin there either. Guy was an idiot. I bought this as a demo unit not a killer unit. Shows everyone no matter how new it is check it out closely. Is that a washer behind the castle nut. Does not have them either...oh well learned a valuable lesson.

Sunny,
Yes that is washer behind the castle nut. If the castle nut goes to far in when you tighten it and the hole to put the cotter pin is OUTSIDE the castle nut you need a washer.

got hub and dust cover off.. found 3/8" spacer between bearing and hub. If I remove there is plenty of room for washer and nut. with the spacer in hub did not fully go all the way on spline.

Yes that is a spacer washer next to the bearing, if you take the spacer washer out make sure tire and rim clear the fender holders.

Great, the hub will grab more of the splines on the shaft. If you notice the shaft has a little taper to it on the end.

Wow, major bummer. Glad you got it stopped without injury. I had some trouble with mine, but nothing that serious. When you put the washer between the hub and castle nut torque the nut good and tight and make sure the cotter pin goes in the crown slots of the nut. I had to use two washers on each side. I'm not sure what the proper torque is. I torqued mine down at 90 foot pounds. The cotter pin didn't line up with the nut so I tightened it a little more till it did. The hubs haven't came loose again.

Believe me I don't want that to happen again. Don't know why the previous owner didn't put in the cotter pins..... I'm using the washer and pin. Ally you're right about hub grabbing more of spline. Will make sure everything is tight. I hate to tighten to tight since it is pressing against bearing and could put premature wear on the race.

Well.. ordered parts 2 hubs, nuts and washers just to make sure everything is perfect. I called Jim at Rapid Repair parts and sure enough he earned the name RAPID honestly. He checked on parts availability then took the order and a couple of days later I received what I needed and made the repairs. I want to make it clear Jim had no reason to speed the order thru. He is in WI and I'm in GA. I did not purchase my trike from Jim or have had any previous dealings. Good service and priceless conversation is what he is about. Trust him he's there to help.
