Title: Has any one used the new stewart hub?
Post by: lawsonracing on December 03, 2009, 07:15:26 PM
I am thinking about using one this seasin in Jr Honda. It looks like a lot of time saving from removing LR hub and spacing, etc.  How quick is it to change from ratchett, locked, unlocked?

Any one used one and feedback ?

thanks

We used it this year and liked it. Only thing I would suggest is keep putting a key in the keyway. The screws that hold the hub in "locked" mode tend to work on the keyway and we noticed a small half circle appearing on each side of the keyway. We run Jr Honda and rarely run unlocked so it helps protect the axle. We don't have one but if you have a titanium axle you really should look at doing this. We can go from locked to ratchet in about a minute. If we want to go unlock you just pull the key. Adds about 2 minutes to your change. Again it's a great item to have and think you will like it.  Hope that helps.
