EZGO rear hub replacement

Owner complained that the motor could be heard, but the cart would not move. Removing the wheel covers showed why. This seems to be a common problem on these EZGO carts and the part is the same for model years 1982 and up for eclectic models. Parts were ordered from Amazon, as the local golf shop didn't have any in stock. Works great.

PLEASE DON’T chew gum on eating something while filming.

Please check the recommended torque on that castle nut. Seems like it is 80ft lb but increasing to 110 will keep the splines from stripping again.

What’s with the gum chewing?

[@mrfixit4211]

Sorry, didn't realized how bad it was until I was editing the video.

He sounds like Mr. Garrettson from south park, mmm kay...

[@robf1648]

Man, your gum chewing is grossing me out.

[@spencerjody8535]

Yep 🤦‍♂️

[@jpocketrocket]

looked to me that the axle shaft might be bent a little ,we bought a cart used and it had a bent axle shaft that looked like yours did when you spun it over

[@mrfixit4211]

There has been no issues after replacement.

Thank You!

My back wheel has a slight wobble. Will replacing this hub help with wobble?

[@mrfixit4211]

Yes, depending on how badly it is worn, but could also be the wheel or axle.

[@robertclark2714]

Shifting from forward to reverse (or reverse to forward without coming to a complete stop will cause the hub splines to shear. Extreme abuse will cause this to shear, as well. There is a specific torque specification on the castle nut and I have found 120 foot pounds to be sufficient. NEVER go backwards or loosen the castle nut to install the "Carter" pin. Not torquing the castle nut will result in failure again but sometimes the failure is weeks later. I have found that buying OEM hubs will save you a lot of headache in the long run. The difference in price is worth the money. After market drums and hubs are a big NO NO.. A golf cart accident can be just as deadly as an automobile accident.

Great points

[@robertclark2714]

@@mrfixit4211 BTW Thanks for making a great video. You should make more. Good job. Don't get discouraged. People will use these videos years from now.

It's NOT a pad, it's a shoe....Pads are used on disc brakes.

Sounds like your chewing on something

Next time lose the gum, nothing like a grown man smack some gum.
