Recently purchased a pretty well modded Kraton 6S. The only real issue we've been having is the pinion moving on the shaft.
Yesterday afternoon I reinstalled the pinion with red loctite on the grub screw (nothing on the shaft). Basically 24 hours later we use the truck and the pinion slid.
BUT it seemed to have happened right after using reverse. When I tried to take the pinion off, the grub screw would not budge....had to heat it up to loosen it, so it looks like the red loctite did its job.
Any other suggestions to keep it from sliding? Is it a common issue for it to work fine in forward but slide on the shaft in reverse?
Thanks.
