Hi, having some problems with my Granite Mega, that I can't seem to work out. So, I fitted some rubber shielded bearings, I've not done the diffs yet because well, I'd like to sort this first mostly. The spur and pinion have been making clicking sounds, so I looked at both, and the pinion was coming loose. After multiple tightening attempts, all unsuccessful, I used some threadlock on it and tested it, and it made a grinding sound, followed by a louder grinding sound, followed it turning out it ate a chunk of the teeth on the spur. Pinions still nicely in place, so, small victories I guess. But, I can't work out why the grinding would have occurred, and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas to the cause or the solution please? Spur gears are cheap, unless it decides to remove more teeth from them
