BMW K1200LT Final Drive Rebuild

How to rebuild a K1200LT final drive.

NOTE: That Aluminum Temperature Expansion will happen to 12.3 (steel is 7.3) the shim has to take up the space and preload the taper bearing. Do Not Fail to leave out the shim. It must have a shim.. even as low as .005 mm( 5 thousands). Do your home work. This job is not for the beginner and you really should have some know how and machine knowledge before really doing this job.

The video make it look very easy but I will say its not. Best of luck should you do this job.

Rated (1 easy) to (10 hard) this job is a = 11

Want it dont right the first time! Then Call Bruno and get it done fast and right.. I was told that Bruno does it right 99.9% of the time and it never fails again.

Video note: It looks as if the shim was over the preload once again. The drive will fail down the road. On the other note. I did my drive at about $275. with all the stuff I had to get and a few tools I didnt have. Should have sent it to Bruno.. Next time I will when it fails....
