I recently picked up a new inner and outer shell for my CCW classic that I bent during the Runoffs. Does anyone know the recommended torque setting for all the little bolts that hold the 3 pieces together? Thanks in advance!

I believe it is something like 30 lbs/in............

32lbs. Adjust in a star pattern and make sure you mark them. I suggest you go around twice.

and plenty of RTV

that seems really low. My Kinesis were around 12ft-lb, or 144 in-lb.

And checking online, a 1/4-20 grade 8 bolt should be torqued to 12 ft-lb also. You might want to call john to confirm the bolt size and grade.

My mistake, I meant 30 lbs/ft

jittrbugg

30-32ft/lbs is correct. Also going in a star pattern is correct. Then working your way around.

what tools do you need to properly re-build the wheels? do you lock tight threads?

i plan on doing this soon myself.

I changed the centers on mine once and spoke with John at CCW first.
30 ft/lbs, star pattern and used the original nylocs so no loc-tite necessary. Clear silicone for the seal and make sure you get all the old stuff out and clean the surface.

was it pretty simple to do?

I did mine when I painted them....I was told by CCW that they need it to be at 32

When are you planing on putting them back together? Not that it's all that compicated gave me a good idea. I'll make a small video of Bob our 3pc wheels builder putting together a wheel. Only thing better than written is visual!

CCDan, that's a great idea Any progress on Bobs wheel building video?

jittrbugg

Dan got the video recorded and has been working endlesly to get it edited so its not long and is easy to run. Also looking for song suggestions as background music, any suggestions?

How about "Wheels Turning" or "Head out on the Highway" both by Judas Priest?

ccdan

Got the first of three videos done and edited...hopefully have the rest tomarrow. Be three video's each step (disassembly, prep, reassembly) about 2min long for each.

Alright there done! They will added to the Tech section of the site sometime next week with a written list of Tool/Items since it is hard to read. If your running dsl/cable or high the High Quality will work perfect if your still in the stone age and have dialup use the Low Quality. Will work better as an audio track than a visual but it's better than nothing (or upgrade already :-)).

Doggone, that's a hell of a service you offer. I downloaded the vids and will keep them on my computer.

It's makes me glad I have CCW's.
