[QUOTE="smithpa68, post: 1140340, member: 51540"] Thank guys. Lubed the spines today. As you said, real easy. Darn tire didn't come in yet so I am in shipping limbo for a few more days. Another quick question though.. on the outside of the gear on the final drive gear there is a rubber seal that mates to a rubber seal on the wheel. Do you leave that dry or lube it with something? Also, in looking at the shop manual on the final drive section, it doesn't warn about alignment before torquing the 4 bolts. I believe experience and will follow the standard forum proceedure. But I am scratching my head to understand how it can become "not aligned". :-) I just hate not understanding fully. The shaft is spring loaded. The torque tube has no movement for and aft. Side to side for the shaft does not seem not possible. What goes out of alignment? Something else? [/QUOTE]
