Moose gear leg / axle bolt size
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:12 pm
I'm upgrading my axles/wheels to a larger size. When I took my current
axles off (which I assume are the stock Murphy-supplied axles with any Moose
or Super Rebel kit) I see that the holes in the axle are all AN-5 size
whereas the holes in the gear leg are a mix of AN-6 (two on the bottom) and
AN-5 (two on the top side-four holes total of course). In effect, the
bottom two axle bolts are merely clamping the axle to the gear leg therefore
leaving all the shear load to be handled to the top two AN-5 bolts.
Anyone have any insight into why the axle would all be AN-5 yet have gear
legs with different size holes?
