It may just be the angle of the picture you took, but it looks cocked (I said "Cocked" :rofl:.....) on the left of the photo. Removing it will be hard and may score the inside on the race seat without re-seating it squarely first. Just something to consider?????

joejeepny said:Yup it was cocked alright. It must have taken a tough shot to get like that. May e thats why it started leaking. The shafts don't seem bent but I am starting to think I should have sprung for new moly axles.
I hate when regret starts setting in on stuff like this. I have replaced Allot of stuff twice just to learn a lesson before. I hope this isn't one of those times.
