  • Bearings letting water into the Max I have a quick fix

    I was going to replace the Wheel bearings in my Max 4, Tell I came up with a fix. I first clean all the dirt off the bearing and axles. Then in the void between the bearing dust cover and the locking coller, I packed water proof grease into this area. Then I installed a 3/16th x 2 1/4" Oring , The Oring fills the gap. I also had the cut the oring and glue them back together around the axle. After the glue sets up I stretched the oring over the lock and into the grove. I also added some sealer around the axle at the lock to prevent water running along the axle and into the bearing. It works well and no more water getting in.
    Send me an email to see pictures of before and after orings have been installed. Lawpressman@aol.com
