Title: odyssey thunderbolt set up help
Post by: HARORIDER on November 20, 2011, 06:42 PM: hi guys need some help
setting up thunderbolts pretty much same as twombolts-installed them pretty easy and spin nicely but the more i tighten up the spindle bolt the stiffer they get and then do not spin so nice used all the spacers according to the manual etc so not sure what if anything i have done wrong

thanks in advance :daumenhoch:

Leave the axle in the fully inserted right side bearing while you tap carefully around the left side bearing to re insert the bearing paulie

What Pete's saying is once you've knocked one bearing out put the crank back in to hold your tube spacer and extra washer in place while you whack the bearing back in... :daumenhoch:
