Re: My stupid question of the week
If you want us to tell you if they are one piece axels we need a different
picture, or you can probably tell yourself. Look at the flange that you put
you rear wheels on. If there is a big nut there, you still have two piece
axels. If it is a flat solid flange with just lugs for you wheels it is a
one piece axel.

picture, or you can probably tell yourself. Look at the flange that you put
you rear wheels on. If there is a big nut there, you still have two piece
axels. If it is a flat solid flange with just lugs for you wheels it is a
one piece axel.
