GSA Shaft replacement...??

Well done, this is a job that may end up costing you 2p
I love those sort of jobs
Moly90 grease is recommended and I had a great difficulty getting any
A BMW dealer in Stroud sold me a tube
Don't get any on your skin, it is supposed to be really nasty stuff

I've had a broken 1200 shaft due to water ingress - Ingress, i like that word almost as much as flange.

Anyway to replace the shaft just drop down the final drive, remove shaft, re-insert new shaft.
To line up the front splines just pop back the front gaiter and use a lever to pop it onto the output shaft, then pop the gaiter back in place.
Replace rear gaiter ( if it's split) before swinging the final drive back up into place.

Hang on a minute and hold your horses, whats all this "pop back on, pop this and pop that". What do you think I am, a ruddy popstar or something.
