I rode in a lot of sand along a river bottom and now i got sand everywhere. its stuck in the grease on my chain, and i think it is in the axle bearing. if i have it in neutral and push it back and forth i can hear a slight grinding sound coming from around the rear bearing. what should I do to get the sand out? i dont want to destroy my rear end because of a few grains of sand.

 

sand happens!!!!

grease what you can grease (zerks),,,,,and beyond that,,,,replace stuff as it wears out.

 

yep I agree axle bearings are something you have to fix every few years of hard riding, I have a hurting pair in my quad right now just waiting for them to grenade so I can thow in this crazy lonestar housing I bougt

 

sand is fun though

 

yea
