Thx guys,... all the info that has been given is pretty much right on and is what I have been able to come up with myself.
Re, the u-tube video, its good and I was hoping that they might be able to supply this tool...They got back to me the next day and unfortunately could not do so..
As for the lathe work, there are issues here that I will find out tomorrow, when I chuck it myself..
I can McGuiver with the best of them...lol.. Would still like the name of someone that I can speak with an d know we are on the same page....
As for the "over greasing", the bearing seals with allow excess grease to escape and could only maybe lube your brake pads but anyone who gets carried away with a grease gun ...well...you know what I mean....The same holds true for not doing any servicing to what one owns....That is not the way this cowboy operates and never will...The idea of greasing those bearings are as a preventative measure, should one be in the water, mud, blood and the beer ( I think that is what John said), and greased just to purge possible contaminates or top off a couple times a year.. not to be done after every run...
I think that covers most of the response, I got to my question and I thank you all but would still appreciate WHT, I can get one if my lathe doesn't pan out.. I'm not concerned about a bearing failure, as when spinning the wheel, all are still smooth.
It's just nice to travel, knowing you have a full tank of fuel and other systems are up to par, when you hit the trails
In the world of aviation, they say..
The fuel you left on the ground and the altitude above you do you no good, when the fan stops turning...Have a good day
