Rear drive needle bearing and swing arm restoration
gstallons replied to Bjorn's topic in Technical Topics
Bjorn , I see you left 1/2 of the driveshaft on the final drive. Do you know how to index the two shaft parts when you slide them back together ? -

good deal ! -
To whom it may concern : who ever removes this driveshaft , make sure there are paint marks on both the slip yoke and main tube of the shaft . We got into this discussion some time ago about timing a driveshaft tube/slip yoke .
-
I like the seller calling himself "custodian" .
-
If the fiting is toward the driveshaft tube , it is indexed correctly.

Well $24.00 is a Dept. of Defense price for this part......like most all motorcycle parts. I remember in the early 80s MXA magazine price out a CR250 dirt bike in individual parts... a $1800 bike was about $5000 parted out.

czakky , unless you are a machinist and want to make an improved bolt , you should take stephano's advice . If you want to proceed , you should make a bushing from steel or stainless steel because a brass bushing would be too soft to ever keep the torque of the bolt. $24.00 + frt.. seems (outrageou$) a reasonable price after all.

Go to Fastenal and buy a button head socket head cap screw . I don't know the length so you will have to decide .....

What Dlaing did looks pretty good. Whatever route you take , be sure you lubricate things when you reassemble & check frequently .

I gripped the driveshaft at the pinion and still could feel slack . You have to have backlash between the ring & pinion gears. -

I removed my rear wheel to see how much backlash there is in the rear end. Rotating the driveshaft back & forth , there is an amount , not much but there is an amount. Did you forget part # 25 in the diagram .Is it a shim or gasket ? -

Something is NOT right. You should be able to feel slack in the driveshaft L/R rotation ....Any is better than tha zipper noise on the video . Yuck ! look it over to see what might be wrong. If you think you have gone as far as you can go w/o messing it up.. Take the parts to a good mechanic for help. -

You need to disassemble this and lay it out on a bench in order to see what you have left out or out of place. -

When you reassemble this unit....you should be able to feel clearance in the left to right rotation of the pinion shaft. If there is no clearance , you have problems ! -
It is not too lazy to run it a while to see..keep the parts where they can be found and be prepared..

You don't have a slide hammer to remove them ? Surely a m/cycle shop or garage can remove/install them for you . -
The part # om the o/s of the box is faded. The packing list with part #s is for an Aprillia/Triumph with a part # or DWG # 99743-11

That's right .

No....Hylomar is one of the best gaket dressings ever made. I just use the Loctite in place of gaskets whenever possible. You just have to use it on similar metals.. e.g. aluminum on aluminum . Sanitary surfaces & a good bead on the surface.
-
I would go with the Loctite 515 gasket elimintor.. Not too expensive , you can go together ( w/no oils) w/o a gasket . The Yamabond is a good choice too. Practice on some spare parts before doing this. You need a good application w/just enogh to ooze out of the joining surfaces .
-
Loctite make an anaerobic sealer...it is good on these applications too. Make sure all oils are off of the gaskets, gasket surfaces, etc....
