yz 85 rear hub

[colin wood]

the rear wheel bearing on the disc side of our yz85 is a loose fit in the hub.Does anyone have any ideas on how to repair.

I know the feeling!Have had this problem more than once on yz 80 and 85´s.Ive got a good friend who is a clever toolmaker,and enduro rider.He was supposed to help me out the first time I had the problem.The plan was to install a bush in the hub,and maybe use a wider bearing.He didnt feel there was enough material in the hub to do this,however.The first time we used Lock-tite,worked ok,but a bit of a hassle when changing the bearing,IMO.After that,Ive used .5 and.10 mm. feeler blades around the bearings.I really felt like a bad mechanic first time I did this,but it works!
