Stefan Eekenulv Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I am planning to change nuts to Nordlock as the normal nuts got loose after only 150 km in the forest and yes I am always using LOCTITE blue but do anyone know the size of the axle nuts and the threading for me to order the Nordlock nuts Nordlock:https://www.nord-lock.com/sv-se/nord-lock/produkter/hjulmuttrar/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, loosening can be avoided from proper installation torque, including rapping of the wedges until final torque is consistently held. (101 ft-lb was the Gotway torque spec.)

MexicanBatman Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 So I have the newest sherman brand new and it feels like loose axle nuts easy job… but there’s a cover over them now so what the easy way to tighten them im not disassembling the whole wheel anyway there’s a click when I go forwards and reverse Same as the V3 Monster Also not the only Sherman I’ve ridden that’s the same 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyTop Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 You have to remove the wheel. Lookup Sherman tire change on YouTube. You have to remove 3 wires and unplug the sensor. Then pull the wheel out the bottom. https://youtu.be/mns_lXmT2X4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard earlier Sherman’s didn’t have a cover over the nut seems like a poor design decision as I feel I’m going to need to tighten the axle ever so often my monster I used to pop the side covers off and job was done in 5min Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That location is the most likely place for a crack to start. ........ So if you do cut a portion out make sure the hole is nice and smooth. No corners, no jagged edges. Cracks start in corners and rough cut areas. Pulling the motor only take about 1/2 hour. When you pull the motor out remember to pull the two sides apart just a little and it comes out very easily.

Dreygun Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 What size socket do I need to grind a slot into for axle nut/ wires (when the time comes)? Torque stock nut to 100lbs? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance 24mm nut, but if you can get a podger wrench it will already have the hole through it for you to feed the wires through and not require a grinder to cut up the socket. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
