rear axle seal

[redrabbit]

i wore out the seal on the rear axle today. its between the chain sprocket and the swingarm. can anyone tell me what this is called and how much it will cost to fix. i will probably replace all the bearings too. can anyone give me tips for doing all of this and possibly the cost. thanks

aftermarket bearings and seals should run you $30 2 bearings 2 seals.

how hard are they to swap out?

The hard part is getting them out, but everything else is a peice of cake.

is there any one who can give me some tips on how to get the sprocket hub off? also do i need to completely take everything off the axle or can i take the stuff off one side and slide it out?

I can't seem to get that off either, but on the other side, just take the lock puts off, and the clip, and it slides right out!

you don't have to remove that cheif!!!

All you must remove is the right hub. Then loosen the axle nut, remove the c-clip, slide the nut, and the brake disc & hub off, then pull the whole axle with everything else attached to it out the left side.

and the reason you can't get your sprocket hub off is because it's pressed on. Not supposed to come off without the help of a machine

thanks man. you saved me alot of trouble. that dang nut is hard as crap to get off. gotta have a heck of a wrench for that thing. lol
