Thanks Simon.
As long as I'm not going to damage the casings I'll give it a go and ratchet strap the bike to the

Using a table lift

I need to lift my Ariel ng 350 off the ground to make it easier to remove the wheels.

Can I lift it with a table lift under the engine / gearbox without damage ?

Thanks

Re: Grease seals NG 350

Thanks Guys,

Where did you get the new tapered bearings please ?

I'll probably go for relining the shoes as the hill around here are pretty steep.

Grease seals NG 350

Hi,

Just dismamtled the rear brake hub to find grease all over the brake linings .

The hub got very hot on a run so may have been the cause.

Do I need to fit new seals if so where can I get them ?

Also do I need to reline the brake shoes or ca they be cleaned ?

Thanks .
