[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 80291, member: 82"] [FONT=Arial Unicode MS]I should have copied my reply... Just lost it all, so here is a basic run down. With the innards out of the chain case, axles and sprockets gone, i found it was easier to re-install the sprockets with the chains made up as a loop and have the sprockets hang inside. Gravity holds them in place for you as you slide teh axle into place. If not, you have to hold it up and line the splines up. Do not seat the axles before installing the sprockets. Use a good dob of grease on the ebarings to hold them in place too. Be careful of the sprockets, they get very sharp edges from wear, like razor blades. As yours is a B model, it has two piece axles. Remove the hub before you start, this will make seating the axle seals easier later. You may not want to fully dismantle the axle as a bottle jack behind the hub is great to pull them out of the axle tube. You can then fully remove the bolt and hub. The wear sleeve, when the axles are out, check where the seal lips run. You can generally get by with sand papering this area. Worst case, you can seat the seal slightly deeper to run on a fresh part of the wear sleeve. That is a very basic run down of what to do.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
