- Here I show you the process to repair your worn rear hub on your EZGO golf cart. This same process works on most other manufactures carts as well but EZGO is known for this problem. This is for all years gas and electric/battery carts. Some models will have a larger shaft and possibly a separate hub and drum but the process is exactly the same.

Update 6/23/20: Someone asked about torque spec for the castle nut. Per the shop manual it is 90-140 ft. lbs. Never back the nut off to fit the castle nut, just tighten to the next notch.
Thank you ...went rite to the job and not to much talking perfect!!!!
@@oscarperez-m4w thanks for watching!🤙🏻
Great video, explained very well. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching!
Great video and presentation. Thanks for going into such great detail. Changing from reverse to forward (or forward to reverse) while still rolling will cause this to happen. This would be a good time to put fresh brake shoes too. They are cheap and easy to change with the drum already off.
Used to be cheap
Absolutely! Thanks for watching! DIG
I like how you added the tools you used at the end of it. Why what is the benefit of them using castle nut over a regular nut? Great video man!
WOW, I'm resurrecting an old comment here. lol The castle nut is used so a cotter pin can go through the axel and keep the nut from spinning off. With all the torque exerted from the axel it keeps everything together. Thanks for watching! Keep an eye out cause we have a new series I've been working on coming soon! DIG
Great video! So clearly explained, I feel like even I could do this. Good teacher!! :)
Absolutely! We need to get you a cart to cruise around! Send some of that warm air up here, we need it! Thanks for watching! We have been working on a new series coming soon! DIG
Thank you. Exactly what I needed to know.
Thanks for watching! DIG
is impact wrench good enough or is torque wrench required?
Torque wrench is really going to make its right with no question. Specs call for 90-140ftlbs on that nut without ever backing it off to set the cotter pin. Just using the impact you never know exactly how tight it is. Thanks for watching! DIG
Good quick
Awesome!
I think this might be my issue. I hear a clunk when accelerating from a stop. I jacked up rear end and put in neutral...then spun the wheel by hand and there is play in the rotation until it catches the splines and turns with the axle...i gotta take it off to inspect the splines of both the axle and the hub
This is a pretty typical issue with this style hub. Hope it fixed your issues! Thanks for watching! DIG
Nice video what size was the castle nut..?
24mm
You the man
Back at ya! Thanks for watching! DIG
Do both sides drive the cart?
@@422bailey yes, but it is a limited slip so the axel sends the power to the wheel that needs it.
Should you grease the axle splines?
I wouldn't. I would just make sure they are clean and that the nut is tight. Thanks for watching! DIG
What socket size is did you use to take the castle nut off?
It's a 24MM. Thanks for watching! DIG
Should I be replacing both sides at once or just the one with issues?
If you want to be proactive then sure. But I checked the other side and it looked fine in this case. This is a very common issue and if it’s not bad now it very well might be in the future. Thanks for your question!
What is the Torque on the Castle Nut?
100 lbs
Specs are 90-140ft-lbs. You can go to 90 and then tighten till you get the cotter pin in, never back it off. Thanks for watching! DIG
What were the symptoms you were experiencing? I have a rrrr rrrr rrrr sound when hardly accelerating. Thank you!!!
@dudeinthegarage
Just like you saw in the opening of the video, it wouldn't move whatsoever. When taking off, the axel would spin within the hub. Thanks for watching! DIG
My EZGO thumps when I drive it almost like a flat tire or tire is out of round. But tires look good. Could it be this hub/spline issue or is it a wheel bearing issue?
If it doesn't keep you from accelerating or climbing hills then my best guess would be bearings. without seeing it in person that would be something I would check. Im sure you've got it taken care of by now but let us know what you found out. Thanks for watching! DIG
How tight would you say you put the castle nut on the Hub

Torque spec for a rear hub is between 90 - 140 ft lbs. Never back the nut off to fit the pin, just tighten to the next notch. Good luck!
@@dudeinthegarage ty for responding
what size castle nut?
Its 24MM. Thanks for watching! DIG
If you don't use the proper torque you will be doing this again very quickly
Absolutely, these are prone to issues if not tightened correctly. I wish I could edit the video and explain better. Thanks for watching! DIG
You don't need the music. I want to hear you and not music.
I appreciate that! With all the current copyright issues people are having I will be leaving the music out of my instructional videos. I hope you got that cart back on the road!🤙🏻
