Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Preparation: Confirm thread size (M5, M6, M8) and component compatibility (e.g., wheel hub, sprocket). Gather security screws, matching star-pin or tri-wing bit, torque wrench, and thread locker.
Positioning: Clean the threaded hole on the component (e.g., bearing carrier, wheel hub) to remove debris. Align the screw with the hole, ensuring it engages the axle or mounting surface, as recommended for set screws.
Securing: Apply thread locker (e.g., blue Loctite) to the screw threads. Using the security bit, tighten to 5-10 ft-lbs (M5: 5 ft-lbs; M6: 7 ft-lbs; M8: 10 ft-lbs) with a torque wrench, avoiding over-tightening to prevent thread damage. For axle set screws, ensure the burnished or flattened point bites into the axle without burring the keyway.
Final Check: Verify screw security by checking for movement. Test-drive at low speed to confirm component stability, re-torquing after 10 laps. Carry spare screws and a security bit for trackside repairs, ensuring proper torque for vibration resistance.
Maintenance Tips
Inspect for thread wear, corrosion, or drive damage every 20 race hours, cleaning with a mild solvent and brush. Reapply thread locker and re-torque screws monthly, replacing if stripped or rounded, typically after 800-1200 hours. Store spares in a dry case to prevent corrosion, matching Luckyway’s component advice. For high-vibration components like sprockets, check torque after each session, and avoid using security screws as primary load-bearers in place of keys, as noted for set screw limitations.
