Either my U-1009 Axle is to short, or my U-1023 spacers are to long. You can see by the attached pictures that I am about 1/8" short on the axle. When I went to install the wheel, and torqued the AN6, the wheel didn't turn very well. All of the pressure appears to be placed on the spacers as opposed to the axle. I verified the wheel halves are tight against each other. Any ideas? Thanks, -- Vernon Franklin ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:46:39 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: Front Tire Installation From: Jesse Saint That is the way it is supposed to be. The spacers are supposed to put a preload on the bearings so the axle doesn't turn. In the past I have turned down the axle w little to increase the preload. The wheel will not turn very freely, but you want to make sure the spacers do NOT turn, but rather the wheel turns while the bearings don't.

Lets you set preload on bearings independent of the nose gear forks. On Sat, Nov 2, 2013 at 12:22 PM, Vernon Franklin wrote: > Has anyone run into this situation?
