I was a bit afraid of doing it and didn't want to do it. But once i started, i like doing it, some good quality and great serviceability!  a joy to work on.

Nice work!!!!

Finnally the last axle bearing came in, 55$ for one bearing. 

Made myself a bearing installer since I didn't want to risk using the hammer 

It went in like butter

everything nicely cleaned and a new gasket

But disaster striked again 'Gently' hammerd the hubs on, but the last hit, I hit a bit to high and blew one piece clean off.

Since hubs are impossible to find, we had no other option but to weld her back together. with a 20$ welding rod

But this 40kg (90 lbs)  tranny is now finnaly done and ready to put back under the Raider 10. My first horse I ever bought but 8 months later and I still haven't driven it. But that is about to change!

Sure is! Pretty easy to work on.  learned a lot from this. It doesn't matter how intimidating it looks, just start on it and do it. 

 

Btw thanks for the tips stevasaurus
