I can hear a bad bearing again, but in my infinite wisdom, I didn’t bother to write down what types of bearings this motor uses the last time I had it disassembled. So here I am again, trying to breathe some new life into these rusty mofos - hopefully, by the time I need to do this a third time, I’ll have clean, new replacements ready for all of them.
Also, I have no idea what I’m doing here, so here’s to hoping all the parts find their way back to the right spots and I don’t break anything else in the process.
Also, note to self: just buy them damn lockring pliers.
EDIT: I didn't fuck it up.
Is it you that posted your previous motor rebuild here or somewhere? If it is, damn, i don't recall it being this rusted last time. Did you seal it up with rtv?
Maybe, I don't remember. I've posted about my freehub before that looked just as bad if not worse.
I don't think it's the case that lets the water in but the seals on the both ends of the bottom bracket.
