Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

so i got taz's gears a few months ago and finally decided to put them on because it getting close to riding weather.

i got everything apart and put the bigger gear in, but i can't get the smaller gear out. (sorry, i'm new to this, don't know any technical names).
so i mean, i got the larger gear in, the one that connects to the rear wheel. but i can't get the other gear out, the one that spins the bigger gear that is attached to the rear wheel.
if you need pictures i might be able to get a couple, but does anyone know what to do? i thought it would just slide out of the ball bearing in the cover, so i hit it a few times with the rubber mallet and nothing happened.

yes use a rubber mallet and tap litghly so you dont damage the oil seal and bearing but it will come out.

mine was stuck like this just needed a bit of elbow grease

Funny, they're not usually stuck like that. How does the manual tell one to remove these?

Try rapping it out with a steel hammer while holding it in your hand.

thanks for the help guys. i got it out. actually had to hammer it pretty hard...

so now i got it back together, but don't have the bbk in yet. it didn't slow down the lowend that much.
i get a little more noticeable kick at around 5-10 mph, don't have a gps to test top speed though.

another thing, i get a kind of metallic spinning/very mild grinding-type sound now. is this bad?
i made sure to install any washers that came out..

are you washers in the right spot? i did the same and had a washer in the wrong spot and it made that sound. and the rear wheel didnt spin that well.

yeah, i triple checked. how many washers are there?

i could only find one..

Coule also be a bearing sound. Not nessisarily a horrible bearing sound.
