Improper blocking of the rear axle housing can cause personal injury. The rear axle housing is made to oscillate. During removal and installation of the rear tires and rims, the rear axle housing must be prevented from oscillating. Place wood blocks between the rear axle housing and the rear main frame to prevent oscillation of the rear axle housing.
