o yes the seal ring (930.1.004.1A) forgot about that.
there is the part number.
if you do end up mullering the baring race keep it so you can turn it upside down and use it as a drift to seat the new one

Might take a little longer to put back together though [/quote]

I'm sooooo looking forward to that bit!!!

The hub is pretty easy to take out. Remove the big circlip that holds the rear caliper hanger in place, slde that off with the two washers and o-rings, make sure the hub is free to turn and tap it out of the swingarm.
None of the bearings are easy to remove and check. If yo remove them, you'll more than likely bugger them.
Check them in situ, grease them and you should be OK.
They aren't cheap, so taking them out for the sake of it will be an expensive job.

Yep there buggered now
I think I had to remove them as the swingarm is going off for powder coating. (please tell me that's right)
So Nelly....mate.....I'm after some new bearings, how much are they pleeeeaase.

Cheers

Oops

Could you drop me a mail with the bike details and i'll take a look tomorrow for you.
I'll tell you at the end of the week if it's necessary to remove the bearings before powder coating......................... i've got one being done this week.
I always leave bearings in, especially if they are going to knacker when removing them. It makes the masking easier. Use them as possible sacrificial masks. I make further masks to cover them, and the powder coaters "understand" and sometimes you get away with it.
Do the same with seals and inspection glasses on engine cases. Makes post paint assembly a lot easier. It takes ages to clean cured powder coat from seal and bearing faces

Cheers Nelly, send you a mail tomorrow.



Dave
sent the mail mate. cheers
