Hi feelyx -
I’ve been reviewing the thread with considerable interest; you’ve done some amazing work. I recently acquired a 2006 C2S with 80K miles and am considering how I could use this approach to oil the existing factory bearing after pulling the seal. Your photos on page 9 of the thread look like the best approach, I do have a few questions:
- Looks like you used a banjo stud with its own sealing surface to work around the flange chamfer (great idea by the way). I’ve been googling and can’t find a similar part. What did you use?
- In the photo you shown PTFE tubing that appears to be only held in place by the fitting barbs. Any ideas on how to make this a more robust connection?
- You mentioned to Brando you silver soldered a 1.5 mm jet to the fitting. Instead of this, could you simply drill the flange maybe 80% through for the banjo stud and tap it with a bottoming tap. Then drill a 1.5 mm hole the rest of the way through the flange in the center of the large hole?
Another thought, does anyone know if the IMS flange for the 2006 large bearing is the same as that for the earlier smaller single row bearing? Some parts searches seem to show it is, but it doesn’t look quite the same to me in photos. I’d like to get one and try the milling and drilling.
Thanks!
