Blue Chips 72 #24579 Posted 17 hours ago (edited) 4 hours ago, peter lena said: @Blue Chips first thing I NOTICED , was the wide seal on that wheel bearing , ? for me thats an instant , easy removal clean out and regrease . think the use and abuse that these units regularly get , is worth regularly getting after . like lucas X HD green chassis grease , also polyurea rated , stays with it , think that hood hood looks fine , stay at it , pete I agree. If I can get to both sides of a rubber-sealed bearing, I can often pop both seals out and use my bearing packer to pump grease all the way through the bearing until the new grease comes out clean, as I'm doing in the photo below, and then re-install the seals. If I can only get to one side of a sealed bearing, I'll try to remove that seal and use a syringe like the one in the photo to pack grease into all of the spaces in and around the bearings and cage and then re-seal it. I'll look into the Lucas product you mentioned. And here's the bearing with the seals re-installed: Note: If I happen to be greasing a metal-shielded (non-contact shield) bearing with pressed-in shields, I leave the shields in place and try using my bearing packer, pumping the grease gun very slowly to avoid damage to the shields as the grease is slowly squeezed through the narrow gap between the metal shield and the inner race. If the metal shields are secured with C-clips, I can usually remove the C-clips and shields, grease the bearing, and then re-install the shields and C-clips.

702854boy 113 #24587 Posted 2 hours ago Hopefully, if everything goes according to plan I'll be able to drive my 854 shortly after school because all I've got to do to it is finish making the ignition wire, put the seat on, and put the left rear tire on. However, I know how things are and a 30 minute job will turn into three hours. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
