Angle Gearbox Bearings

[DrFarkoff]

My problem is that once I retire from work I won’t have access to machine tools.

Perhaps I could join a local “men’s shed” group or a model engineering club in retirement ?

Maybe I should send you my spare FD and you can practice making pullers and press blanks, Just to keep your hand in LOL

I will ask my local Dealer if they have any scrap FDs what ratio is yours ?

Mines a 2019 1250GSA, no idea what gear ratio they chose for them I just ride the thing.

I'm an old school fitter and turner so can knock up most of what I need manually on an old lathe or mill.

The kids in the big machine shop have a few bloody great Maziak multi axis machines at their fingertips.
They can make pretty much anything with a bit of code writing, they are very specialist.

Finally I replaced both bearings and problem fixed. Unbelievable that bmw does not sell bearings and ask 2000 euros for new final drive. For sure they know that the outer bearing, that they put, will fail. It has very bad design with small rollers and half of them missing by design. You can see at the photos the black power mixed with oil that comes from the worn bearings. I have replaced in my career more than 1000 bearings, first time I see so bad bearing design. Of course I put normal NTN bearings with tge best quality. Bearings numbers are 32912 and 32913.
