Title: Rear Axle repair kit
Post by: Mohan58 on March 04, 2023, 02:49:23

Hi all,

I purchased the rear axle repair kit which consists of the left & right repair kit. See picture attached. Is there a step by step guide to do this? Please advise.

Cheers,
Mohan

First of all make sure the wheel bearing on the right side is different than the bearing on the left side. The right side should use a special "self centering" barrel shaped roller bearing that allows the swing axle to change angle slightly. Next, most owners replace a lot of old rubber mounts, bushings, axle boot etc. before starting the work.

Thanks so much Joe. I did change all the bushes before but did not do this. Will take note in the right side.

Cheers
Mohan
