I am trying to replace the brake shoes on my 2001 electric EZ GO. I'm following the guide on this site and have the directions from the manual.
I'm having one major stumbling block and it may be a stupid question but .....
I can't figure out how to remove the castellated nut without the axle shaft spinning. The manual says not to set the brake but that seems to be the only way to keep it from spinning as I'm trying to loosen the castellated nut.
I then tried it with the parking brake set and it still spins (though with some resistance).
Am I missing something obvious? Is there a relatively easy way to do this? To remove the nut without the axle spinning?
Thanks to all in advance for any guidance or advice.
