Factory6speed is on a distinguished road
The axle bolts are stupid expensive. I had a few drinks one evening and spent $200 and some dollars on a new set. I still have the old ones, most are half decent, someone had a problem with one of them. If anyone needs a spare axle bolt or two due to a rounded one let me know. I had a set of cheap etorx sockets in the past and they were better at rounding bolts off than breaking them loose. The snap-on etorx set was worth it

This is concerning to me having just had all this stuff apart. I did replace those clips, it wasn't too easy to get them out.

Usually when I've heard of this happening it's caused by hitting something like a curb or a pothole hours before. not saying you hit anything though. It will probably just keep happening again, not good
