Reduction Gear dismantle.

The reduction gear in all its glory.

Off with the rear shoes.

Drain oil first. Not much left in this unit.

 Remove locking clip.

 This allows the threaded retainer to be unscrewed.

 The seal is a push fit item in side the retainer.

 Time to split the halves.

 With the halves apart I can remove the drive shaft to get at the bearings and seals.

One bearing down three to go. This one is 40mm outside 17mm inside 12mm thick. 6203 C3 Open SKF from Bearingboys.

 Lift the main centre bearing. This one is also a 40mm outside 17mm inside 12mm thick. 6203 C3 Open SKF from Bearingboys.

 Straiten the tab washer and remove the main nut.

 Nut removed.

 Lock washer next.

The reduction gear was very tight and needed a bit of heat and plenty of persuasion.

Then remove the distance piece.

 I had to use my home made bearing puller to remove the bearing set in the casing.

 Out it pops. This one is a 37mm outside 12mm inside 12mm thick. 6301 C3 Open SKF from Bearingboys.

 Now to the main bearing. Drive out the rear wheel spindle.

 Unscrew the retaining cup.

Remove the bearing cover plate.

Then tap out the bearing from the other side.








This one is a 52mm outside 20mm inside 15mm thick. 6304 C3 Open SKF from Bearingboys.

Oil seal out. 44mm out 30mm inside 7mm thick. Again from Bearingboys.
