High pressure wash.I recently removed the rear axle on my 2000 road king to change the tire and discovered corrosion on the axle. It looked as if the plating was not completed.
I recently removed the rear axle on my 2000 road king to change the tire and discovered corrosion on the axle. It looked as if the plating was not completed. Possible production problem. Has anyone else experienced this?
Always use anti-seize, after pulling an axle.I did, Not too sure bout plating. The [email protected] wouldn't come out.
Took about an hour, BIG rubber mallet and a piece of 2*4!
Might have something to do with her, (the bike) living out in the rain?
Quite wet where you are too ain't it?
Anyway, I don't think it was coated with 'Anti seize' properly at the stealer when they changed a tyre.
Got a bike lift now, do my own wheel in/outs![]()
@gree: !!!!To repeat. Use anti sieze (messy crap) every time axles come out. Needed on spark plug threads in Aluminium heads as well.
