If you bought one of the new die cast covers from Direct Drive it will not have that nipple because you don't need it. As for the bearing and seal install, you should find a socket wrench that is roughly the same o.d. as the bearing and seal and drive the two parts home by tapping on the socket while it is contacting the seal and then the bearing. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hose that went to it should wind up at a T fitting somewhere mid-motor. Remove the hose and the T fitting and replace the other line that connected to the T fitting with a longer hose that runs from the rear case vent down to the ground. Direct Drive usually gives you a deal on all the ancillary Yamaha OEM parts if you buy them when you buy their cover. They have all the seals, bearing, and such in stock at their facility. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cam2 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 How did people ever do without BHQ back in the day.LOL the old schoolers learned the hard way. remember, always respect your elders. to add to what firehead said about the bearing and seal install..... make sure you are using a stable platform and use blocks of wood to prop up the cover so that it is some what level and stable. the seal and bearing will go in pretty tight so you need to make sure that you are driving them in the cover as evenly as possible. that's why it's important to have a stable platform so it doesn't rock around. and a little bit of grease or oil will help as well.

It's good that you said that. I sometimes forget that details I pass off as being obvious probably need to be specifically talked about on here.

I sometimes forget that details I pass off as being obvious probably need to be specifically talked about on here. i know that you knew that, it's tough to be 100% specific all of the time. i wasn't sure if he knew that, i would hate for him to ruin a new cover. another thing that i forgot to add earlier was to make sure that one of the wooden blocks is directly underneath the water pump area where you will be tapping the seal and bearing in. i put one under there and another under the area where the kick starter seal is, not under the clutch basket area.

After I read your first post I started picturing someone doing exactly what I said, but with out properly supporting the cover. Soon after I pictured the cover shooting across the cement garage floor with the water pump bearing in sideways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
