Hot Wheels Redline AXLE REPAIR KIT - Qty 2 kits - No Disassembly Reqd ! You can now easily and reliably fix the broken end pin of your Hot Wheel bearing-type or cap wheel type car axle without the need to dismantle the casting! You will receive 2 repair kits (2 bearings and 2 sleeve tubes). Photo 1: An example casting with a broken axle end pin, and the repair kit. Photo 2: The repair tube installed into the replacement bearing. Photo 3: The tube+bearing installed onto the axle. Photo 4 and 5: The wheel installed onto the bearing. Bearing-Type Wheel Instructions: Use sandpaper or a file to clean and roughen the exposed broken axle. Insert the tube into the bearing. Apply a VERY SMALL amount of super glue onto the axle. I nstall the tube+bearing onto the axle while being careful to avoid getting any glue onto the bearing. Wait for the adhesive to cure. Ensure the bearing spins free. Attach the wheel onto the bearing and adjust the insertion depth as needed to ensure the wheel+bearing spins free. For some loose-fitting wheels, consider adding a drop of super glue to secure the wheel to the bearing. Your repair is complete ! Cap-Type Wheel Instructions: Use sandpaper or a file to clean and roughen the exposed broken axle. Use a push pin or miniature drill to open the hole in the wheel base plate just enough so that the repair kit tube can just pass through the hole. Insert the repair kit tube through the wheel base plate hole. Apply a VERY SMALL amount of super glue onto the axle. I nstall the tube+plate onto the axle while being careful to avoid getting any glue onto the plate. Wait for the adhesive to cure. Ensure the plate spins free. Snap the cap onto the plate and ensure the assembly spins free. Your repair is complete ! Notes: - Hot Wheel car shown in photos is not included in the auction. - The bearing is a custom made part and is not suitable as a direct replacement for original Hot Wheel bearings. - Repair kits will be shipped in a padded envelope (See shipping cost note below). See my other auctions for many other helpful Hot Wheels restoration parts! You are buying the item AS-IS with no returns accepted. I'm happy to combine shipping for multiple auction winners. Note that Ebay will charge shipping separately but I will see this and refund the difference. Successful bidder payment is to be made within 4 days. Thanks for looking! A Note About Shipping Costs: I used to ship this item in a standard letter envelope with just a first-class postage stamp. However, eBay penalizes me for not providing tracking information, which results in losing my "Top Rate Seller" status and the associated discount on ALL my auctions. Unfortunately, this means I either have to stop selling these repair kits altogether, or switch to a shipping method with tracking, like USPS Ground Advantage. If you know of a less expensive way to ship this item without being penalized by eBay please let me know! Also, I offer combined shipping, so if you make an additional purchase, this item will ship for free.
