Hi guys i hope all as well. I need your help finding a replacement part. I seemed to have lost rear axle bolt somewhere.

i also need to know if there is supposed to be a washer there as well. IMO attaching a picture of what is left.

Thanks in advance for the help.

If your scoot is a 250b scooter you don't need washer, the nut should be 19mm, I'll look and see if I can find axle nut.

When you install the new nut....use some blue loctite....and check it when you think about it....enjoy the ride...

Thanks guys,

i didnt find the nut in the two urls above. i wanted to see if i could find the part at a local autopart store v. having to order it. i think its a 14MM but im not sure about pitch adn what else goes out there. do we have a washer there as well?

Yes as i have had to remove items i have been adding blue and sometimes red loctite.

If you have the MC-54-250B you don't need a washer, the nut is a locking nut and the nut size is 19mm.

Yes i do and thats exactly what i needed to know. do you think an autoparts staore may carry one?

Thanks!

I'd say a hardware store my have one, just make sure the threads line up right (be careful), you don't want to strip those threads.

[richardthescooter3]

This is the type of nut you want.

Don't forget to torque the nut. I belive it should be tightened to about 100 ft/lbs.

what goes between the nut adn the swing arm? in this video ( ) right when the guy pulls the swing arm off something falls down. i think im missing that part. and Autozone has the nut. is an M14 1.5 pitch xpindle nut.

I still have the issue where the rear tire has a lot of play about .25". im trying to pull the swing arrm off to see if anything came loose.

That was a Spacer washer extra thick that fell out.

Thanks Alleyoop! I pulled the wheel off and cleaned the spindle, spacer and bearing and lubed everything with lithium grease. I put it back together and still have the wiggle in the wheel. I assume the nut draws the swing-arm onto the spacer so I'm thinking about adding 1 or 2 washers between the nut and the swing arm OR between the spacer and the swing-arm to make up for the difference. Do yall think if I do either of these things it will knock the bike out of alignment?

Again thank you all for pitching in and helping out.
