bearings on axle

[john swenson]

is it advisable to use anti seize on the axle where the bearings and sprockets get located ? i have never done it, but ? getting ready to install some new bearings and wondered if it's recommended for getting them off when needed later down the line .thanks , johnboy va.

Hey jb. Yes, use it on the bearings and sprockets. Especially on your machine where the lower set has full exposure to the mud and water.

thanks dobber ...glad to hear it . actually i was surprised how easy the 2 came off after 3 yrs' of mud and water . a little '' blaster '' penetrating oil overnite , some emory cloth sanding next day on the axle , and the air hammer pushed them right off. j.b.
