I’m just curious to see how everyone cleans their axle.
@mike97760 Any recommendations on a Sonic Cleaner?We take the whole axle assembly apart after every race, put the bearings chain and small parts in the sonic cleaner. The axle is cleaned with very high grit sandpaper or emery cloth and sprayed with WD40.
$69 one from Harbor Freight works fine.@mike97760 Any recommendations on a Sonic Cleaner?
Paint can duct taped to a 10" full range blasting Mettalica's or AC/DC's Back in Black album?@mike97760 Any recommendations on a Sonic Cleaner?

Why do you sand the axle ?We take the whole axle assembly apart after every race, put the bearings chain and small parts in the sonic cleaner. The axle is cleaned with very high grit sandpaper or emery cloth and sprayed with WD40.
It is just not a lazy way of cleaning a kart. Do what you want. They are just SUGGESTING what you can do. I NEVER SKIP MAINTENANCE. Yes what you suggest will do fine but what they suggest is just more thorough way of cleaningY’all over think this entirely too much. Power wash, blow dry, spray with wd40 and wipe down. Clean bearings separate in parts cleaner and triflo. Ready for next weekend. Some of people’s cleaning methods are absurd.
Yes, yes, was pre-coffee and raised in a WAAAY too sheltered environment to know the difference until now... I'm now properly caffeinated and ready to suggest more classics like "dirt track date" by Southern Culture on the SkidsBack in Black was AC/DC
