[QUOTE="Tantrum, post: 235773, member: 26930"] DVO, I have abandoned the thought of a relief valve of any device that would allow grease to exit easily. My train of thought at the time was to prevent the seals from blowing out the sides from grease pressure. I have since remedied that problem. If you look at front of the uni-track where it mounts to the frame you will notice that there is 1/8 to 3/16 gap just off each seal. At these points is where water, mud and anything else gets in; which in turn pressurized grease can push the seal out leading to bearing failure. What I propose and am in the middle of fabricating, only because the weather is so bad here and I can't ride, is disks of high molecular plastic. The would be in essence a washer that takes up the space between the unitrack and the frame. This plastic is extremely hard, but at the same time extremely slick. It is almost like a kind of teflon. Now, these 4 disks are not mean to prevent water and such from entering the seal area, but are placed there to prevent the seals from popping out. They will also take up any side to side slack that the rear end might have. Keep in mind that all this is hypothetical and I am in the process of doing this with all my old bearings and seals to see how effective it is before drilling away at brand new races. But to answer your question more directly, no, I personally would not do such a thing. There is really more metal in those seals and not a whole lotta rubber. To put a cut in the rubber I think would be asking for trouble. Back to the shop. B. :confused: [/QUOTE]
