First make sure the
kingpin pinch clamp is
undone (fig 5a) so the
axle can be inserted (it’s
a good idea to either
remove this screw or nip
it up when transporting
your trike so as not have it
rattle loose!).

Insert the axle from the
outside of the hub
(fig 5b).
Some times the crush
tube inside the hub may
be misaligned (fig 5c), use
the axle to realighn it.
~ disc brakes with
hollow axles
Place the axle into the kingpin
assembly (fig 5d). The axle
should be a neat fit but
NO hammering should be
required!

Once the axle is installed,
cinch up the clamp screw (fig
5e) tighter than finger tight,
but not tensioned right up
(this is to help prevent the axle
rotating whilst performing the
next step).
Insert the axle preload bolt
(fig 5f) and snug it up (6Nm).
Finish tightening up the pinch
clamp (12Nm) and you’re
done! Well one completed….
other side to go!
