Re: How to questions on Cleaning my Axle & Motor

Also, i was working on cleaning the rear end last night and i notice alot in 2 specific areas of the axle that looked to have leaked some over time. Is this normal? or is it something that i need to replace? The spot where the leak looked to be comeing from was a circle on the axle shaft right next to the pumkin. (its on bothe sides and on both shafts) P.S. is there an eary war to clean the axle or is dgreaser and a brush the best way? |

I guess i should say my cart is a 2000 and i know parts wear. I assume nothing has ever been changed so i know it should i just fear it would cause a snow balling effect and a $20 fluid change just cose $200 in a new differensial. Again, dont laugh at me but i have to ask....you cleaned you axle with gasoline? So you completely disassembeled your axle and replaced evetything? Is that the best thing to do? Was it very expensive? |

Re: How to questions on Cleaning my Axle & Motor
i will ask this because i just dont know, so please dont laugh but if you flip the axle it wont cause rear end fluid to run into the motor? I thought you had to keep the axle upright at all times....

As to the oil, I replaced mine, as I never heard the "compressed metal" theory. I've built over a billion dollars worth of infrastructure before retiring, and never heard of "compressed metal" requiring dirty oil. |

Not too hard, and the bearing replacement was prolly not necessary, but since I had it torn apart to inspect the brushes, I figured... |

Yurtle, im with you since it is apart I thought why not do it all now rather than take it all apart later and do it again, but It was suggested to me that if there is no noise and no problem now, why waste the money on something that doesn’t need to be fixed? I was informed that it can be costly to replace the “wear parts” and since my cart is a 2000 I still have another 10 to 15 years if not more (baring a catastrophic failure) before they would make noise and need to be replaced. With all that being said if it’s something that is a must do now I will. I know im not going to get the money I put into it back and I plan on keeping this thing until forever so I would rather do it right the first time to save myself in the long run? But… Both sides makes sense but maybe im just not think it through but to me since I am replacing/rebuilding worn parts and problems its best for me not to mess with it if it still works. I am trying to customizing at the same time too which I know can be a problem in itself but if I can save the money I could use it toward something else that needs to be fixed or added I prefer to do that. I don’t know what to do. |
