Re: hpt Special Bolt

Part Number GDA5600138
The New Bolt Will Be Stamped G ON The Head.

I Recommend To Keep An Eye On The Wear On The Thread OF The New One. After Several Uses You Can Tell The Wear On The Last 10mm At The Bolt Head ➡ Stretch : Use Buckets OF Grease 😉

Hi Garn,

If you ordered this as a replacement part due to wear, I doubt that you will have any come-back.

The best way to look after these bolts is to try not to force them.

Tap the bearings in, grease the threaded shaft well and start to tighten. If you start to get serious resistance then take the fitting tool out and have a close look at the bearings, you should be able to see if they are not lining up correctly, just tap the edge of the bearing with your trusty knockometer to tap it into line and try again.

I have a threaded shaft that has done hundreds of bearing jobs and it still runs a smooth as new.

Your Correct Jim.
I always Degrease the Bolt And Keep It Clean
IT Will Last For Years. A Soft Copper Hammer Can Be Useful
these days I Prefer To Put A New rear Half On It Can be Hard Work These Days

Still got my original bearing puller from 1990. A little looser than it was but works a treat still. Not used as much as it was though 😥
