Getting Rear Wheel Straight on Hub

Glenn F. · Aug 1, 2016

VAC Case here. I have a bad wobble in my rear wheel and notice
there is some variation where the five wedges hold the hub to the
rim. How can I get this spacing correct? I tried to be
systematic in my tightening, but obviously there's a problem. I
removed & replaced the other side with no problem.

Thanks,
Glenn F.

With the wheel jacked up, Set a block of wood on the ground beside the tire. You can turn the wheel by hand to check and adjust as needed to get the wheel turn true. I hope this helps. jim

those taperd carpenters wooden shims work good too, you can slide them in and out to adjust the gaps. cheap too!!
