Hi there, i have built everything up to issue 13 and now i have applied the disk's and got them all sorted then looked around it and it seems to me that the screws inside the hub holding the arms to the hub and the top arm that is applied to the lower arm is coming lose? I'm just wondering if anyone can help me here and see what i can do as i cant just go and tighten them up because we had to glue the hub together?

Any help here would be much grateful.

Thanks.

Dean.

Unfortunately your going to have to gain access to the screw to resolve the problem, if the screw was correctly secured then there is no reason for it to come loose other than poosibly the joint has been sprained at some point.

Your going to have to split the glue joint of hub to gain access, you could try a very sharp blade, being careful you don't slip!

How loose is it? dont forget it needs to be free, not to tight not to slack.

The one i would say is fine its jus the other it actually lift a mill or to so quite loose, as tomick said i Probly sprained it while doin the screws on the hub id say.

I shall try what u said Tomick, i do have some very good blades and will have to give it ago because i cant be just leaving it like that. I will let u no how i get on or ill be asking how to get spare Parts hahaha

How did you get on?

I've got the same problem with mine and i'm weighing up if its worth trying to back track to tighten it or if it will be ok once its connected to the car itself - will hold it in place. What do you think? Trouble is i've done all the front brakes now too.
