BenBB Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Shift shaft seal. Call a local bearing store and ask for a 10x22x7 seal (those are the metric dimensions in millimeters; ID x OD x CC), oughta be like two bucks. Pull the shift lever, LH footpeg, and stator cover to get to it, either use a hooked pick to pry it out carefully or a short sheetmetal screw into the seal (careful don't like sink it in the case behind the seal) and pry on that to get it to pop out. Tap the new one in carefully, you can use some small diameter pipe (3/4" or so) longer than that shaft to tap it in if you need to. It shouldn't leak much if any gear oil in the process but if you hafta leave it out overnight or you're paranoid about getting oil on the garage floor just tip the quad up on its right tires during the procedure. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inthemail Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 right on thats they way shes done. you can even wipe a small amount of oil on the sealing lips to be sure it seals properly. ben nailed the replacement procedure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeletor15 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 thanx alot man...ill have to do that soon!make sure to check the shaft for wear. those seals get hard and eat into the shaft. if it is and its light use some 400 grit wet sand paper to clean it up a bit. spray off , and put back together.
