Well I have my kart completely apart. Painting, etc. The spindles come with a ton of greasy washers and was wondering what their purpose is / how to install them. Do they go in any order, etc.

Thanks.

pics as requested.. The washers aren't in any real order, I just separated them and evened them out between bolts as much as possible.

im no expert but i would assume the bolts are too long for where ever they go and the washers take up the extra space so the bolt can be tite.

Put it back together the way you took it apart.

Oh I thought it was something to do with friction

I can't remember how it came apart.. the washers fell everywhere and it was quite a while ago.

it goes like this

bolt - washer - frame - washer - spindle - washer - frame - washer nut.

then if you need spacers to help it tighten up. put washers on the last step. hope you can follow what i wrote.


or maybe this is easier to follow

bolt head
washer
frame
washer
spindle
washer
frame
washer
nut
