Spline Lube Jig?
« on: November 15, 2017, 09:12:30 PM »
This article solved a problem I didn't know I had:


"Not satisfied to *just* do a spline lube on his K75, Dave Mosen built a jig to make removing the final drive an easy one-rider job. "

Vurt der Furk?


Very amateurish. It isn't even stained and shellacked.

Hmmmm... I didn't know the spline lube was so hard.  I must be doing it wrong.
