badmotogoozer Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Naw, I've got the proceedure worked out for unlubed. If I lube the axle, I'll need to make up a new proceedure... Rj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badmotogoozer Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Seems to be. The only questionable item is the left rear wheel bearing. I'll get a second opinion today on its condition. I'll likely replace them both as a precaution. Everything on the right side of the wheel is beautiful. There was even some lube on the splines. not much tho'. I was expecting a real nightmare once I got in there, but not too bad actually. I'm getting the tires swapped today but I still have to pull apart the transmission so I better be quiet until that's apart... Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, that compression adjuster is 40 clicks!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Incidentally, that compression adjuster is 40 clicks!!!! Good going Ryan- glad to hear you got it out. I wouldn't use lube on the axle when you put it back in. The rust is a form of loctite and really- do you want the lubed axle to just fall out while you're riding? How safe would that be? BTW, If you want to replace your rear wheel axle spacer....uh....I can get you one on the cheap. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't remember if it was 40 or 20 as I was wanting to set it up in the middle of the range and adjust from there. So I had both numbers floating around in my brain. Just got back from the shop. The mechanics there both recommended using Never Seize on the axle on reassembly. I'll give that a try as wheel bearing grease can get so messy and run a bit in the sun. Thanks for the spacer offer but my problem was all in the caliper mount. It'll all clean up just fine. cheers, Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
