[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 15503, member: 82"] Please don't take this the wrong way, but you do understand the purpose of the tapers rite? They are designed to *lock* the axle to the hub. The worst possible thing you can have happen is have the hub slide back and forth on the axle, it will wollow the key way out. The correct way to install any taper is to clean all traces of oil or grease from both surfaces and install. If there was any rust on the axle or hub this will not lock the hub on. The more surface area the more force is required to get it to separate. I had a good example of why you need to clean both surfaces, i assembled a 12HP briggs engine. I installed the flywheel with the key on the crank, tried to start it and it fired then stooped, it refused to start again. Turned out the grease i put on the taper allowed it to slip, it sheared the key and turned so the timing was off, thats why it didn't start. Its very important for any taper lock that you clean then first. *end rant* [/QUOTE]
