THANK YOU THANK YOU @1K9 for locating this.

@TURBO200R4 perhaps you could comment for others' consideration going forward ?

@VGB How are you doing ? How is this repair holding?

Introduce myself,problems,bevel box leak

none serviceable usually means the dealer is not going to sell u a $10 part they want to sell u a $500 dollar part.:)

Altough very interresting i think u would need a lot of mechanical expertice plus at least a nice press and a tool like i have (is two pieces that bolt together to remove the pinion coupler) or make one like pics.
In order to do a good job u need to know if the pinion/ gear have a good patern know how to check bearings and if bad replace and reset adjustment.
I think there r a few guys on here that can do this.
 
I guess I'm asking if you [ @TURBO200R4 ] might say you would do it, and for what general cost range and general turn-around time ?

I can't imagine the demand would be more than a handful.

The way i would approch this is to get a unit to take apart to find out why it is leaking. Could be defective seals,poor machine area that the seal rides on,bearings going bad,seal in backard,seal driven to deep,ect.
I would have to price parts labor 100-300
For my friends a couple of six packs

Turbo Gets It Done. I know from personal experience. I have a 2007 spare. I think they made changes in 2008 and they fit the older bikes. Have been looking for a spare shaft in case those splines go bad too. BTW... How do you guys clean the splines on both sides? Moly cakes hard and it is a pain to remove well. How much Moly do you put in when lubing?

What is recommended to lubricate the splines with?
 
Learned how to clean from @1K9 and his caliper rebuild thread, anyway Brake clean, brushes long and short, emory cloth, and to lube @Mad Dog turned me onto the tungsten disulfide(in the proper amount) and i have always used the extreme pressure yamalube molybdenum disulfide grease and to fill only lucas racing gear oil. Cleanliness is next to godliness
