Q: Has anyone ever had a problem with their 61mm x 2mm o-ring (PNs 91304-KT8-003 or PN 91302-MA6-003) not fitting in its groove (on the right hub of the rear wheel; the final driven flange slips over it).
Last time I was in there doing the work myself (tire change, spring 2016 —*which was also my **first** time in there), the o-ring didn't **seem** to fit right. It seemed to be resting atop the corners of the groove, instead of sitting fully inside it. But I knew it was the right o-ring, so I just shrugged my shoulders and went with it. But I'm sure I cut the o-ring when I slipped the final drive flange over the hub — especially based on all the moly paste that's slung out on my rear wheel ever since then! (And my splines looked pretty dry when I disassembled it all this time.)
I've attached some pics — 01 and 04 are minus the o-ring; 05 and 09 are with.
I've probed the groove with a fine dental pick, and it feels like the side walls of the groove may be damaged. I imagine that's something a machinist should be able to remedy?
And lastly, look at what appears to be flaking / spalling on the end face of the hub. The spacer that sits between it and the final driven flange has a similar appearance. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer ...
