Help with installing wheels

[rayvel67]

Hey

So i'm trying to build my go kart

. i think i'm miss someting ut:.
I'm installing the wheels to a dead axle. So all hubs have bearings. If i tighten the nut too much than the wheels don't move as freely. I'm afraid that the nut's would loosen on it's own. What i'm i missing???

Thank you

You should have a spacer between the two wheel bearings and then use a nylon lock nut to hold the wheel on. The spacer prevents pressure on the inside bearing race.

5/8 inner diameter bushings on both sides of the wheel :thumbsup:
