I need to do a rebuild soon but now I'm not as intimidated. Thanks for sharing. What was the cost of parts??

[Iceman]

V2 parts are cheaper than V1

V2
drum each $16.50
Sprockets each $9.95
Chains each $37
idler cable $18.50
idler pulley $5.99

You only need to replace what is worn or broken.

hey andy,

what do you charge for this type of service? and what do you recommend in terms of the use of grease on the shaft?

thanks

seems like the drums and idler cable are the major wear items for me....i really like the new style drums with the metal inserts. Anyone not running these newer hubs should up-grade for the $32....probably throw on a new idler cable while your at it and keep the old one as a backup.

Seems to me that the chains/cables after a while strech a little. So i replace the chains every year. I igree with scallywag, that much grease on the shaft is only going to attract more sand and wear out the hub on the drum.

How tight are the cables? I noticed that mine got a little loose and need to be re-adjusted but I don't know how much.

I do stock these items. Simple stuff, I don't charge anything above the cost of the parts to install. Just leave it with me a day. I use marine grease on the axle only.

Thanks for posting this Steveooo.
