Rear bearings '03
Part # for large rear bearing 2003 EC300 ? The others are 6004 2rs, correct ?
Also, which way does that spacer go between the 2 bearings ? The tech. article doesn't even mention it. |

The rear bearings on that bike are 2 #6004 and 1 #6005 The I don't believe the aluminum washer is directional. It does get distorted when you tighten the axle bolt. It goes between the 6005 and the 6004 on the sprocket side.

Yup. 6005. Thanks.
For some reason I only bought three 6004. Doh! Have to go back tomorrow. I bought the Jap. bearings. I bought German last time and they are probably built a bit better but I don't think they stand up to the crap that we give them any better so I'm going the disposable route this time. Someone should put a mention of that washer/spacer in the tech. article ? |

Nothing wrong with quality Japaneese bearings, its the Chineese and other crap thats junk. FWIW, I havn't changed a GasGas wheel bearing on my last two bikes. Steel wheel spacers, and pack the area between the bearing and seal full of grease. No pressure washer.
The washer should go shoulder up to the larger bearing ID. My '03 was missing this part. |

Brian,
When I did that tech article, it was using parts from my old 2001 XC250. When working on my 2007 bike, I came across the spacer that you described. I found out the hard way and reinstalled incorrectly. Here is the thread discussing this spacer. Note: I also stickied it today for future reference. http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=2566

A little off topic but what the hell you got me started and besides that I'm a mod. I avoid Chineese products if possible, sometimes I do without. Not only because of the deceitful engineering to make unacceptable and dangerous products pass a QC test (my in-laws lost a nice dog to that melamine dog food BS, so its a bit personal to me ), but I personally have no desire to contribute to building their economy and funding their military. They have a space program now thanks to Walmart. If the president wants to really do something, he should give incentives to bring mfg. business back here instead of redistributing the wealth of the middle and upper class so that the lower class can buy a Chineese made big screen HDTV. OK, rant over. For bearings, I go to Worldwide Bearing right here in NJ. The owner is an MC drag racer that specializes in MC application bearings. Nothing but the good stuff.
