The new spindle is much better 8.5A instead of 7A with a much larger better quality 4 wire connector so one can be grounded to body.

Yes I did strip it down heres some pics.
I was very pleased with the build quality and the bearings were in very good condition even after nearly 3yrs use.
Very easy to strip and I wouldn't hesitate to strip one down and replace the bearings. Basicly 30min job Max.

How did you remove the aluminum nut off, I'm trying to repair and replace the bearings on mine but I cant get the aluminum retaining nut to came out..


Sorry I'm not on the forum here. thanks for your help
