125 hydro rear axle leak

[J.Kauppila]

I have hydro fluid leaking out the end of the right rear axle, dripping down onto the wheel. This has developed recently.

Any suggestions on needed repairs?

Thanks,

you need to change your axle seal.

You need to drain the rear of hytran, remove the snap ring from the affected axle at the pinion, slide out the axle, replace the seal, and reverse the order...refill with hytran. Its not a difficult job.

Here is the service manual for reference.

I just did it last week, it's a pretty easy job. I have pics and such in the 1650 project thread at page 19, if you want to see mine.

Dave fyi posting page numbers might not work if someone has changed the default style. I view all threads with 40 post per page were the default is 10 post per page. A post range (19 - 23) or the actual post number if the info is just one post and not several post.

Thanks for the help.

Any suggestions on where to buy the axle seal?

You can order from one of the sponsors or some people have crossed them with NAPA seals.
