I got my final drive in and I am back on the road and only $260 poorer.
I thought I would share this with you. When my first bearing went bad the balls wore out so you could feel and hear by rotating the rear wheel. So I would rotate the wheel after every ride to feel it and change the oil every 3000 miles more or less.
So with the new 17 ball bearing every was going great till I smelled gear oil and looked at the rear tire and it had oil on it(Oboy).
If the picture worked you can see that the cage for holding the balls let go and cut the oil seal, there was no noise or feeling that anything was wrong.
So you all can figure out how you are going to maintain your Fatal drive bearings.
