Re: How to questions on Cleaning my Axle & Motor
If nothing's wrong, why is it apart?
I'm guessing it was around $100 for all bearings and seals, but if labor's "cheap", no need to replace something that's still good. I'd still replace the oil, but that's me. |

Im sorry, i may not have been clear in the beginning. If you look at the first post in this thread, My cart is apart as the whole rear end is out of the cart. When i said apart i ment that the axle is pulled, not stripped it down. Im sorry again for any confusion. |

Re: How to questions on Cleaning my Axle & Motor
Don't apologize for my inability to keep up with all posts. I'm not a buggy expert, but just giving you my experience.
The good thing about this forum is, if I say something stupid, folks will put me in my place, and I won't take it personal. |

Re: How to questions on Cleaning my Axle & Motor
Little late to this party, but UNO you potentially have a custom wired cart. When you get ready to play with upgrades there, remember me, I also have a 2000 and it took ScottyB and Johnnie (again thank you both! and everybody else) a lot of head scratching to help me, but I now have a wiring diagram that works for the 2000s. There were a couple versions during that year and while the end is the same, the route the wire colors take is different, so matching color does not work.

Attached is a chart that shows how to tell what type drive you have. Quote:
The gears, which are made of steel, do wear, so the oil will be black and there may be some glitter in it because the microscopic particles that are worn off the gears clump together and form visible particles. The EZGO service manual says to change the oil in the rear end after five years. Unfortunately, the wording is somewhat ambiguous and does not clearly define whether it means only the first five years or it means the initial five years and every subsequent five years thereafter. Personally, I take it to mean every five years. ---------- Also, EZGO uses SAE30 motor oil in the differential and I believe oil formulated for gears ought to be used. Or at least something added top it to make it cling to the gear surfaces better. I'm currently running an 80/20 mix of SAE40 and STP, but I'm going to switch to Lucas Gear oil when I have the pan off this winter. BTW: The viscosity of Motor oil and Gear oil are measured on different scales, so 30 weight motor oil and 85 weight gear oil has about the same viscosity. |

Update: Cleaning my Axle & Motor
I just wanted to thank everyone who helped me with my cart questions and have helped guide me so i don't make a rookie mistakes. I ask a few questions about prepping my rear axle and wanting to paint it. I just wanted to post a few pictures of my rear axle, before and after, to show everyone that helped me out how it went.
Again, thank you to everyone who helped. |
