Default Re: TATRA 15821 CD Capo 8 x 8 truck .

Not only was front axle loosely assembled, they didn't put the rubber band on the locking mechanism of the differential … No wonder the whole thing jammed up.



Ended up taking the whole assembly apart.

Balance: 5 cross threaded screws, and about 50% not tightened. The actual gear mechanisms were properly assembled.



The tool provided by them is perfect for removing and re-inserting the bearings.

Most difficult part in reassembling was the metal clamps that holds on the rubber boots.

The whole thing, from start to finish took me about 8 hours.
