SLX 780 Driveshaft Tolerances
The bearing mating surface on my drive shaft on my 96 SLX is pretty scored.
I'm just wondering how much I can turn this down on the lathe without jeopardizing the sealability.
I've attached a couple pictures.

How much material would need to be removed to get the surface back to smooth?
Are the seal riding surfaces also damaged?Last edited by K447; 07-20-2015 at 11:03 PM.

I would guess I would have to machine 5-10 thou off the shaft to get it back smooth.
The rear seal in the shaft bearing was completely chewed up when I pulled it apart.
But the roller bearing and the front seal were still fine.

So just to follow up, the shaft seal riding surface on these drive shaft measures 7/8" or 0.875".
The OD of the spline is 0.790".
Just for those who are looking to do some machining on their shafts.
