Cool thanks, I've been job hunting the past 2 days and haven't had time to work on it. Tomorrow I'm tearing it apart as the cage has cords showing through the front tire, so I got to get the Scooter back on the road.

Got the bearing and seal installed today. Only paid $3.07 w/tax for the bearing at www.usabearingsandbelts.com/ which I highly recommend. They from here in Lakeland but do 90% of their business on the internet and have really good prices. In fact I may end up working there as they are more than doubling the size the first of February, very nice people. Anyway had to go to Advance Auto Parts for the seal, they had no way of finding it buy size but he let me go back to the shelf and match one up. Ended up with a National #712008 which is about a 2mm thicker but that shouldn't make a difference. I could reuse the gasket but I think I'm just gonna cut a new one tomorrow starting to run out of daylight today. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be back up and running, I want to thank everyone for their help and advice. EDIT: Oh I forgot to mention that since I had to get the seal at Advance is was $8.55!! But at least I got it, can't complain about that. |

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear you're getting close to riding again. ;D There's snow on the ground in every state other than FL according to the news today, so you'll need to ride extra to make up for the rest of us tomorrow. lol

Got it back together today and it's running good and no leaks. That bearing must have been hanging up for a awhile before it started making noise cause it's definitely quicker off the line, and I got about 3mph more top end than before. Thanks for everyones help.
