Keith Scotch Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 I've attached a photo of the NSR trunnion housing on my GT6. You can see that the cap (grease retaining) has worked loose and is no longer attached. How do you suggest I re-attach it? I've tried gently tapping it but it won't stay in place. Many thanks - Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Hi, yes quite common for these to come loose but a big job to replace. However they dont really do very much so perhaps you could use a cable tie on the drive shaft to keep it up against the bearing housing....

rogerguzzi Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Hello keith I would just give it a good clean with thinners or brake cleaner and glue it in place silicon or araldite etc Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 +1 for just use some setting bathroom type silcon sealer or no more nails you dont need anything clever Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Don't fancy the chances of glue or sealant if there's been grease or oil about, even if cleaned. A cable tie looks a bit bodgey, but effective. Doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 talking bodges its only a dirt flinger its not any sort of seal if could be cut off it wont cause any catastrophe its there to stop water running up the shaft to the real seal Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Perhaps a less conspicuous alternative would be to move the dust cap back a bit, then clean the shaft and wrap some tape round it until the diameter is sufficient to keep the cap in place?

dougbgt6 Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Drill a hole through the shaft and put in a split pin? Sorry db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 As the gang have already said, sealer works fine once it's been cleaned up / degreased. It's only a cover. DO NOT weld it on.... seriously! That was the cause of my first ever GT6 breakdown thanks to a PO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Scotch Posted May 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll give one of them a try (not the split-pin idea!) Cheers - Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
