My bearings are sealed into my rim...I could have ruined them by stripping that nut?? The 7/16th bit I had in hole was not tight to fork

That's what the inner and outer spacers are for, spacing the wheel and protecting the bearings from being crushed.

I'd replace the axle, too. That's not something you want coming apart going down the road!

Ill try and take some better pics, I miss my 06 RKC to in my Avatar, however I love this EVO! I bought it a few months ago from a 84 year old fellow. (he bought it new when he was 67) It only had 7,600 miles on it.
