[maxwell]

[tex78]

what about metric allen bolts.... either mm5 or mm6

 

[maxwell]

Is it a torx or an allan?

 

[brewster]

I did mine awhile back and I think depending on year there Allen, the updated versions are torx. Use a little heat and becareful they strip very easy and are a nightmare to get out if u do strip the heads. I had to tig weld a but on the surface because two of mine stripped. The heat loosened them right off. The dealers say they use one of those old school hammer operated impact hand screw drivers. The old seal pops out with the use of some picks

from the rest of us here...... you are a tool Max!!!!!! Just stick you pointy head in there!!??


Now now its in good fun and you left yourself wide open there and none has trashed you lately.....ive been too busy!

 

[TROLLCAT]

If there to tight use a punch that fits inside the head of of the screw spank it twice with a SMALL balpin hammer they spin right out for yeah , I use the socket most of the time to do that

My 08 was an allan. pretty sure it was a 5mm I can check when I get home tomorrow morning (on nights now) clutch is off already.

 

[Sun Sport]

It is a 5mm allen,use a 30 torx and small hammer when it is stripped.:d

 

[tex78]

thought it was an allen 5mm

 

[Sledderglen]

What doo you use as a needle to inject the grease way into the bearing?? Turkey baster?? Just asking???

 

[maxwell]

i just pack it really full and pack the seal really full aswell so when youput it on it will hydraulicly force the grease into the second bearing.

 

[imdoo'n]

i thought maxwell was godlike, just go in and pick up the first one you see, it will work, or so i hear.

 

[maxwell]

Ya I haven't had to do many seals but I needed a new set of torx drivers anyways.
