You can change the bearing by taking the green end cap off

NOTE do not do this you cant take the bearing out of the end of the box it needs to come off completeley plus you will need new oil for the box to top it up.

If you want to see why I have a box on the floor and I can show you.

I charge £20 to replace this bearing plus the bearing and oil.

Takes about an hour start to finish.

ring me if you want it done.I have rebuilt quite few of these boxes in my time.

Nah I think not, Its only a little job and to be fair I happy to help him out.

dump the oil, six bolts, a little push and shove put it back on, pull the speedo and top the oil up easy. may not even have to remove the wheel.

Why thank you.

I have been in business for myself for nearly 25 years now, and have always had the same philosophy,
" you can shear a sheep many times but, you can only ever skin it once "
ie If I help you out you'll come back.

Oh and I'm not too bad a bloke either.

From what I've been able to assertain from the short time I've been a member of this forum,
is there are lots of other very like minded users on here.

I could name them but it may cause embarrasment.
As for the rest of you I don't know yet time will show us.
