shiloh Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Hi all, just removed and tore down the rear drive to see why it`s leaking. Pretty easy tear down every things nice and clean, no abnormal ware. The leak is from a destroyed inner seal, #10 Now for the interesting bit, the big roller cage bearing and circlip, #`s 11 and 12 from the exploded view diagram, are A-wall, I mean not present. There is no evidence that a bearing was ever installed, the surfaces are factory mint! No groove for a circlip either unless its just friction fit? The bike is a 2000 greenie, and according to the diagram on harpers site they should be present?? The dimensions for said bearing is 40x45x55, yet the space in the housing is only about 20mm high x 55mm dia. Am I missing something??? I`ve checked yrs 2000-2004, they`re all the same. Help!!

shiloh Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 I`ve put a little over a 1k km on it since I got it, Im surprised it didn`t fail. Maybe I should just buy a complete replacement unit?? 450$cnd ouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy york Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 WoW ! no bearing at all !!! With one side of the ring gear flopping around, I would think the box would be destroyed. Your conscious will have to guide you. there is no circlip. seal , washer, bearing are you sure the bearing did not come out with the ring gear and fall off on the floor or something weird like that ? inquiring minds want to know.

shiloh Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 ya, no Trying to understand why the parts in the topic are missing and why it hasn`t failed because of the parts missing. If I replace it, it will be for new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only that bearing and what appears to be a circlip that sits on top of the seal are missing, By the looks of things that bearing would be pressed in and there is no signs that any such thing was ever in the box. I dis-assembled on the bench nothing fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiloh Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 Ok just got off the phone with the service tech at harpers, he laughed and cant explain how the box hasnt detinated yet. The bearing listed wrong dimentions so that clears that up. The circlip is for the crown shaft, thats present. So tonite I will be ordering all necessary goodies to make this right. Hopefully it all goes back together as per. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coreytrevor Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 You won't get any notification other than the box arriving at your house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I've found it helpful to confirm availability by phone with all the suppliers. It is common for the website to be out of date. Not sure if shipping into Canada slows things down at the border? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swooshdave Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 So who else wants to tear apart their bevel box now? Is this something you'd see if you fished a camera down the filler hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I’ve got a box that needs to come apart. That inner seal would be a lot easier to get to without that pesky bearing in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
