[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 19497, member: 82"] Its normal to have a little slack in the chains, there should be the same amount for front and back on each side. The teeth do have points, they are not round like you may think. They will get sharp burs on the sides over time so be careful feeling the teeth with your hands, been caught a few times when re-installing them..... The chain case is pretty tough, i can't see how you can blow it out unless you let it run low on oil. The best test to ensure your bearings are good is to jack it up then grab hold of the wheel and see if it moves in and out. You want to know if there is any play in the bearings, if you can feel or hear it clunking around you should consider changing the bearings and seals. The ideal way is to use a dial gauge, i think the limit was 0.005” Any other questions just yell. [/QUOTE]
