[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 44133, member: 436"] Just put a new set of Avons on mine yesterday. While I was in there I pulled the pumpkin and shaft. Came out as a unit. Very easy job. There was an adequate amount of grease on the shaft end and on the drive/driven gears for the wheel, but I cleaned them off and replaced with Moly 60. The other thing I did was pull out the U-joint, clean it up, and lube it with moly-60. It also had enough grease on it but you won't know that until you take it out and have a look. It was a pain getting the dust seal out because there is little space to work but I took my time and didn't force anything and it went well. Here is a procedure for pulling the u-joint: [URL="https://www.bikes-n-spikes.org/maint/ujoint/uj.html"]Servicing the U joint[/URL] And, I tightened my axle before replacing the brake torque arm bolt and had to loosen it in order to align the caliper. :unsure: Guess I'll remember that next time.
