Well my 300ex has been broke for a long time now.I can't remember how long.Probably almost a year though.It needed a new bearing carrier and a rear brake rotor.(Along with new handlebars,front plastic,brake pads,chain and sprockets,battery,etc,etc)
Anyway I found a 300ex swingarm and axle in the paper.The best part was the # was from my town.So I call the guy up.I go look at it and it's basicly the whole rearend.Minus the shock,sprocket,caliper.So I bought it for 70 bucks.I got the swingarm,carrier,axle,rotor,hubs,everything still bolted togother.
So I bring it home and take it apart.The bearings and seals still appear to be good.I just want to put new grease in there before I put it back togother.Am I going to have to take the bearings out and pack them like wheel bearings on a car.I think I would pretty much ruin the seals if I tried to take them out.
So what's the deal.How do I do this?
I did do a search on this and nothing useful came up.
