77 Cast Rear wheels

1755 · Oct 14, 2009

Our Club has a RC 77 with Cast centers on the back and it is going to get new to it rears we were abel to get the bolts and the clips off that keep the steel wheel on the Center but the bolts were rusted and had to drive half out with the hammer and torch out the rest is there going to be a problem using regular bolts insted of the square ones besides they will have to have a wrench on them when we titen them up can you even get the square head ones any more

There won't be a problem putting new hex bolts in. I would use hardened bolts tho. Just be alittle patient when you put them on, as you may or may not have to use a back wrench.
