Final application of graphite.

[TexasTaxi]

How do you do it?

I've been pulling the axle back, until the point is just below the inner hub, dropping as much graphite as I can into the divot, then pushing the axle up and spinning it a few times. Is there a better way? I just don't feel like there's a lot of graphite getting inside the wheel.

Search applying graphite,
There are many good threads on it.

Did that. Lots of threads, but none, that I could find, described a process.

Check the 5 kids sight under cub scout build & there is something near the end of that.
I saw a DD4H video but I can't find it again either, or MaxVelocity has a video.
The Red Rocket is still the preferred bore wax & pledge is my choice for axle wax & Zero friction is the fastest graphite.
Tamiya swabs & fluffy pipe cleaners, no more q-tip stalks.

There is no real secrets, if you made a horrible mess you probably did it right.

Send me a pm & I'll try to send you the hole process "as it has been explained to me".
There's not many league guys using the G anymore it's all oil.
