            I’ve noticed that my nose wheel axle is too long and with the proper toque on the bolt, there is way to much side to side play of the wheel on the axle.  I sent a message to Van’s and they just said to shorten it.  I figured this out myself, but want to give then a chance to see if they address this issue with new parts?  What did everyone else do to address this issue and what method did you use to shorten the axle?  

     

Thank You

My  axel was too long and the bearing would not rotate as it should, it only rotated  between the axel and the bearing not allowing the balls to rotate.  I  fabricated a spacer to put pressure on the bearing to make it work  correctly.  Vans told me that they are aware of the problem but do not have  a solution.  We builders should fabricate a fix and let them know what we  make.

We didn't have this problem.  Ours seems to have been the right size, both

times.
