Final Drive Issues

[Sunday Rider]

hrust washer, I assume you mean the plastic one that goes between the drive spider and the wheel? That's in good shape.

rubber/aluminum were new last year....

That's the one. Glad you have it and in good shape.

The ‘bearing ‘boss’ is the raised portion of the right side inner wheel ‘hub’ that the double-row bearing fits into. The outer/edge/surface of the bearing when correctly installed should be flush with the surrounding ‘boss’ of the wheel hub. There have been some examples of extreme wear where the boss’ surface is worn down exposing the end of the bearing. Sorry, I don’t have a picture of that saved, hopefully someone will chime in with one.

Were you thinking about that beautiful piece of machining Carroll Walker had done on his rear wheel "bearing boss"? The link to his photos is no longer working.

Not when I posted, Raouf, but I do now remember his amazing repair. Something very few are capable of doing. Sorry I didn’t save some of the pictures of the work.
