Thanks! It was way easier than I had anticipated. It was peace of mind to fix that locking nut and see everything else was fine.

You are awesome. I’ve been so worried to attempt it myself.

Hi Kate, Thank you for such an instructional video for servicing the drive. You did a great job. One comment that I will provide is please remember that a torque wrench is a sensitive calibrated device and should only be used for tightening, never for loosening. Using the wrench for loosening can damage the spring. I learned this mistake many years ago and thought I would share with you Thanks again!

@@KateFishing Hey Kate, you are welcome, I know this for my Dad was an auto mechanic. Also you commented that the wrench lever allowed reversing or removing but that is for tightening left handed threads. I appreciate your content for I am considering purchasing the Native titan (probably the 12)

good job kate .I hope that extra nut works out for you . let us know and I will see you on the water.

Thanks for the video. Can you tell me the crank puller tool size??

Great job Kate! Where did you find the extra spindle lock nut? I’ve looked all over and cannot find them. I too want to put an extra one on the upper spindle as my single one keeps loosening. Thanks

Great video Kate! I just order my Titan Propel 12 so this info will come in handy and give me time to gather all these tools. Where did you get the grease?

You can lightly heat the crank cover before using the spanner wrench. It makes it easier to remove. Just light heat though. Small butane torch or a heat gun.

Thanks for the tip. That makes sense!

have you heard if this is a problem on the 701 drives?

Hey Kate, nice video. Where can I get the wrench you used to remove the upper gear hubs? Please let me know what the wrench is called and where to purchase.

Drive with your seat strapped down or inside. When the back is up the force of the air can rip the fabric. I'd hate to see that. Good vid bro. Tight lines

i bungie all the seats down now. Plus.. you collect soooo many bugs if that seat is up.

is there a special tool for that nut?ther reason for not being stable is the grase!

Was that Teflon grease you used

@KateFishing

That brand does have teflon in it I believe.

I'm pretty the other end of that spanner tool is made for the locking nut. Just saying so you dont have to use those channel locks on it again..

I just filled mine with marine gear oil no need to do anything anymore lol

Not good for your Torque wrench to use for a breaker bar.

That tool is a crank puller used for millions of years by the earliest cyclists..
