I have ruined a pair already by hammering the little buggers home...... A little turn of the pinch bolt and hey presto.................

No way. How on earth can slackening a bolt that grips the outside only of a spindle have an effect on the inside diameter.

I'm not saying the external dia is the same, I was refering to the inside dia.

I think the best way to sort this iut would be to give JHP a ring.

Where do you think I got the advice from in the first place

Rickie at JHP told me to do it........................sometimes Jon you just have to except the things you don't know anything about.........................I did and now my bungs fit a treat....................nuff said

Cheers guys - I'll try loosening the pinch bolts...

Twinfan · 19-Jan-2006, 21:06

Well I've loosened the pinch bolts and the bugger still sits out by about 6mm

I'll have to get a rubber mallet...

Run some emery cloth around the outside of the bung were it slides in to the axle tube. Just a slight bit off will help them slide in .. also add a smear of grease.

I refer the 'onerable genetleman to the reply I gave some moments ago...

Just hit the bugger home...its only a bit of friggin' plastic!

You need to give them a whack, otherwise over time they'd come out surely, they've got to be tight in there because if you do lob it down the road the last thing you want to see is your plastic bung bouncing down the tarmas

If they are being really difficult, take the axle out. They are designed to stay put so refitting should be OK.
Warm the axle up and chuck the bungs in the freezer. WD40 is your friend and whack em home.
It'll make drilling the adjuster access holes easier to.
