There is quite alot of movement on the input shaft. I think the bearing and seal are completly goosed. Is it a big job to fix?

Most of the dealers are probably closed for now.Yeah doesn't look like it's meant to! The pinion bearings are not an easy job from what I understand, and BMW probably won't do the work. Mikeyboy does most of the FD reconditions for people on here. He is in the Midlands. There must be someone in Rep. Ireland who can do it too. Perhaps others on here know?
Well thats that then.. Second hand unit it is. price of parts , postage to the UK and back, labour would be hundreds I rekon.
Mine failed at 15k , sent to Mikeyboy for a job well done, honestly crap design single side swing arms , style over substance.Well thats that then.. Second hand unit it is. price of parts , postage to the UK and back, labour would be hundreds I rekon.
Motorworks sell reconditioned units. Not sure what the reconditioning includes though
Having Mikeyboy do the work will be cheaper I would have thought. New unit is expensive
Got a second hand one. I think my one could be repaired. If I can figure out how to replace the seal on the pinion . I think water got in through the abs sensor and pushed the oil out. Was full of water. Wheel bearing is running perfect.
Dont be hasty
Speak to Mikey
you could spend a big wodge on getting a SH unit only for it to be on it's last legs, or fail within a few hundred miles.
OK, from NI the postage isnt going to be cheap ... but then again neither is the postage from Motorworks or Sherlocks
At least if Mikey does the work, you know you've got a pukka unit for years to come
Ive tired the cheapo reoute before, it costs you dear in the long run
ive just run some figures on UPS for delivery from your location to Mikey based on a 20Kg package its £22.49 ish it may be less
You know. My original has not had the recall steel disc carrier done. I wonder if I could send in a 15 year old bike now to get it done. They might fix the input seal cheap.
