Assembly

Vibra-TITE VC-3 Threadmate () is recommended on all bolts that thread into a tapped hole.

Be sure to align the bolt holes in the Aluminum Swerve Wheel with the tapped holes in the 45T Bevel Gear.

Ensure that the 45T Bevel Gear is fully seated before installation. Failure to do so will not allow the wheel to spin smoothly.

Insert the 45T Bevel Gear into the Aluminum Wheel. This may be a tight fit. A dead blow hammer or an arbor press can be used to press the bevel gear into place. Tighten all bolts to ensure the bevel gear is flat.

Tread Cutting

When cutting tread for the Swerve X Wheel, you must know which type of tread you are using. The type of tread will affect the hole pattern and overall length of tread needed. We recommend using 3 Ply Black Neoprene and the pattern is based on that material.

3 Ply Black Neoprene tread was used to determine the overall length and hole spacing for the tread pattern. If using a different tread type, the spacing may be different due to the construction of the tread.
