SUGINO CT CRANK FITTING HELP

<< < (4/7) > >>

big burner:
Hi Matt yes thats how they look on them cranks you have done it right
i had a bb boot covering mine in my piccys of it fitted so cant show you
But all ok there :daumenhoch:
You could do the mallet thing if you want it further on i guess

Nick :)

PHIPPSIO:
Matt, i agree with Nick. For some reason CT's always seem to have a bit of space between the washers and the crank arm although it should squeeze on as you tighten the bolt. Never grease square tapered axles, it tempts the arm to move slightly, and as soon as the interface is even minutely loose, its game over and they will always come loose after a period of time if ridden

Hope thats helpful  :daumenhoch:

MartyC:
They look fine to me, tbh I can't see what you are worrying about.  I think I would be more worried if the arms went all the way on and were still loose  ::).

Swivel:
Right, went in the garage, place a nice piece of wood over the non-drive side and gave it many, I mean many wacks with a hammer. I have a club hammer and the fooker still hasn't squeezed in to reduce that gap  >:( just don't know what else to do. By me tightening the bolt doesn't seem to make it reduce it neither. Just hope these ain't dud  :-\

Gashead:
Matt - as I and the others have said, I would leave it mate ! It's just the way the set up is meant to be  :daumenhoch:
