Wheel Splines

[Claviger]

For those more knowledgeable about these things, see anything wrong here?

Apart from shape of the teeth on the spline ..... No

There is no wheel fitted, your rear end will drag!

That's just because had he not skimped on the grease - you'd not have seen it.

Guzzis do that too (over longer). Wait till you have been wearing that part almost 40 years! - there is ALWAYS some tolerance there - otherwise you would never get the wheel on. If it can chatter - it will wear.

Try spray on dry lube as well as grease. Good firearms lube Moly/graphite/PTFE - every little helps. If you have time - hand burnish it into the steel.

That or weld the splines and remove the 90° box to get the wheel off - Oh wait - drive shaft splines. Weld that - ah wait gearbox output shaft splines .......

Wow! Looks like some power has been applied to those teeth!

i would guess the male splines on the wheel would have a little wear also

I can't tell if they're worn of if I'm just seeing a "step" in the grease. Have to wipe it down to really tell. The teeth looking angled could just be from the camera used.
