New axle kit

[Silver Tongue Devil]

Got a new axle kit from GoPowerSports, everything installed fine, save for the wheels. It's a 1" axle, the bore on the wheels is 1", has a locking collar to keep the wheels from sliding in.

My question is, how far from the outside of the axle do you install the locking collar?

Those wheels are wrong for that axle. The axle uses a stepped wheel bore. I have that same axle and have used a few of them. Like these in the link I provided

Then why does GoPowerSports have an option for those wheels to go with that axle?

So I'll have to get a new set of wheels and tires. Terribly inconvenient

You could put a nut and washer on the end.. tighten to the shoulder(might need a few, but higher than the hub of the wheel).
Put key in, slide wheel to the washer, slide over and tighten the lock collar against the wheel.

I looked up the 1” axle kit and it does say to use lock collars behind the wheel (which you wouldn’t need with a stepped wheel).
I’d say leave 1/2” of the threads sticking out past the washer & nut and use the lock collar behind the wheel.
Can’t see why it wouldn’t work.
You could always call them and ask for their advice.

Be a pain to work with all the washers but it'll work.

It does come with a lock collar, that's what I was thinking originally is to do as you described. Figured I'd ask and made sure I was thinking right.
