Re: Rebuild the rear axle
Terry, hope I don`t have to do it a second time. I already got the article of Tom Endy, JayJay gave me the link before, thank you.
Yesterday I`ve put in the seals in the axle housing. Was a little mess, had to grind them on the outside a bit. I realized, that they were changed before and they did a grind job on the seals, too. I also realized, that there is imho not enough place to put two seals in one axle housing, when I (accidentally) tried to push in the second seal in the same axle, that I already put the first seal in (just grabbed the already done and therefore wrong axle housing). The lip is snug even over the little worn part of the left side, so I left it that way.
The bearing shell in the left and the right bearing in the right axle housing are loose. I`ll try to do it not too bad, when I use some special bearing glue (like Rotorwrench did it for the sleeves) to fix this. Should have bought some new bearings, I know! But When the shaft ist worn, there is the possibility, that not even a new bearing will sit firmly.
Terry, what do you measure with the laser temperature sensor? Please don`t say temperature ;-) I mean where do you measure it and what do you expect?
