Axel Spacers

#2
I carry an axel to Lowes, or hardware store, find a piece or multiple pieces of pipe that the bolt will slide into, then I cut them to whatever length I need them. (after purchasing them, of course.)
I think 1/2 inch water pipe will fit over a 5/8 bolt, but I'm not sure. That is why I take one with me.

Axel is the guy in Beverly Hills Cop, but I digress…:D

1/2” schedule 40 pipe makes a decent 5/8” axle spacer, but you’ll likely have to grind or drill the weld seam out of the inside.

3/8” schedule pipe will do okay for 12mm axles (a little oversize), or 1/2” axles if you drill it out.
