Hello All,
Pulled off my rear hub today to find that brake shoes blatted in oily crap !
Final drive oil seal shot.So thats why I had trouble stopping !
So is it possible to replace the seal without major strip down ? (i.e. from hub side )
Please excuse my lack of mechanical know how but Im trying :?
Cheers in advance to all you spanner wielding whizz kids out there. :lol:

Thanks for the replies Eden, Mark. Hopefully it will be a simple job.
Otherwise I can see a trip to Ripon on cards :roll:

Also check between the bearing and the casing I've known certain bearings spinning in the crank case causing oil leaks :shock:

:shock: Must be newly fitted bearings. The only bearings I know that fit in every single Li motor are RIV bearings. Whatever the public opinion is on them. They DO fit.
