Wheel Hub Pin

[Ridger]

I'm posting this for a friend who owns a B7500. He says the rear wheel hub pin on each side keeps breaking allowing the rear wheels to move freely in and out. He sent me some pics which looks like a bolt is used instead of the actual part (63733-17270). Could the use of the bolt instead of the actual part be the problem? Any suggestions/comments are appreciated.

If he's grabbing any available Grade 2 bolt off the shelf then probably the cause. Spend the $$ and get the right part. Make sure the larger bolt behind it is torqued properly and not worn, it "clamps" onto the shaft.
