I installed new bearings and flanges on my max ii. I purchased these from Richards relics. The inner flange I installed with the lip of the flange facing towards the frame. I should of looked at my other max before installing because that one is installed with the inner flange lip facing out away from the frame. My bearings are moving freely. Is this OK or should I change them ? Note: I do not have an inner bearing. It's an older max

Check out the How to Replace Your ATVs Bearings article in our How-To section. It has plenty of photos and a video showing how they go. -
So both of the round metal flanges go on the outside of the tub ? What goes on the inside on the frame? Nothing? Even on a 1980 model with no inner bearing?Comment

Some of the early machines had 3 flanges, the inner most flange inside the tub was more for frame support than anything, if it's not hitting don't fret it.sigpic
My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.

I put the one with the grease sert on the outside and the one without on the inside with the outer lip towards the Frame I noticed on one of them when I pump grease into it it comes out on the outside of the tub. On another one the grease comes out on the inside?Comment

Did you use the strip caulk against the body on the inner (non greasable) flange? did you line the grease hole up with the zerk? Next silly question, are the carraige bolts sitting flush in the frame?sigpic

I watched the how to video on this site which I should have before I used Richards how to before and his pics and directions are lacking. Needless to say I'm redoing all of them. Thanks for the help Mike and jimComment

So for advice to other members...Would you recommend that they get their parts from Mat O or deal with Richards relics?Originally posted by Dano1877 View Post

The overall consensus is to avoid Richard's Relics due to higher prices and/or inferior parts. He's considered a last resort sort of thing.
Now, I will say I did buy Ago parts from him simply because he had the items snd shipped to northern Alaska. A lot of other places won't ship to a PO Box. Items were very good, prices comparable to other places.
Matt O owns Recreatives Industries/ MuddOx and had factory parts available.Stand for the Flag. Kneel for the Cross.Comment
