    Hey micmac
    Thanks for getting back to me. I guess I gotta play dumb here. Probably because I've never taken anything like this apart before. Ummmm, guess I'll just ask, are the split shaft collars on both sides of the frame?
    And what are split shaft collars? I'm assuming that the collar is what keeps the shaft from moving in and out and that is what has the allen screw in it. I tried loosening the allen screw and that sucker won't budge.

    Hi wheeler,

    I used split shaft collars on the axles to hold them rather than the eccentric bearings which break easily in this application. Nothing magical I drilled a hole on top of the frame above each collar so I could stick an Allen wrench through and Olsen the collar if I needed to take the axle out

    I saw a post where you drilled out the frame above the bearings? so you could get to them easier. Could you explain this a little to me.
    Thanks
    Wheeler
