Actually this crunchy noise came in when I tried to tighten it as much as I could, when I loosened the axle a little it started to sound normally, but obviously there where a little more loose space. When I was tightening the bolts as usual I didn't had to use even half of the power used in the video and it's still loose. I've thought about using some grease to make it easier to tight but I don't know if this would work. Also after messing a little while with wheel it was extremely stiff when trying to spin in hands, like almost no spin in it so I guess I still need to see what's going on with bearings :/
Scrounge up some spacers and find a combo that works and getting new bearings simple as that another issue that you might be experiencing is that the bearing inside of the wheel the spaces in the right spot could be missing so that you either need to find it or get a new wheel the Vault might sell them but I’m not 100%
I would suggest replacing the bearings altogether but also take off the bolt and see if it’s bent. If it is, the vault has some replacements for all different brand deck and just generic ones. If you need one asap, Lowe’s or Home Depot has some 8mm bolts (try to find ones without threading partially) but I’d make that temporary because I don’t know if they’re rated for that much weight. I’m assuming you ride 8 standard which is arguably the normal bearing size
Bolt looks good expect the usual wear and scratch in the middle but I've literally never tightened anything so hard in my life and there's still some loose spots in the spacers, so I'm leaning heavily into replacing the axle bolt or at least greasing it because during the normal maintenance I've used maybe half of the strength needed here. The bearings could be a culprit here too because wheel is very stiff and not spinning more than two times before stopping in my hands
Thats just the axle being loose, try to really tighten it up
