Anyone use WSM Bearings/Seals?

[dbrutherford]

I have a drive shaft/bulk head and a pump rebuild kit for my ski. I have never used them before and I am a bit leary of using the WSM stuff. New Kawie parts will run me around 100 if I go to the stealership or online. Since the ski is apart I know I should change the bearings/seals but I am being lazy. What is you guy's opinion of WSM stuff?

I have used the Premium WSM Crank Case seals and had no issues with them.

Not sure about their pump seals. They should be fine.

also, you can go to a shop like Motion Industries that sells bearings and such, they can get you the same bearings and seals (may be of a different MFG than OEM)

I use a lot of their stuff,their bearings should be FAG which despite the name are good quality bearings.They don't make the bearings they just package them and resell them.

I have heard not to use the crank seals from someone that had them and they failed prematurely .

I've used there drive shaft housing & front motor mount in my STXR.

Used thier seals for 10 yrs. in all my skis and my friends with not one complaint. Don't know about the bearings what make are they likely a brand name

Well it looks like I will go ahead and use them. No sense in spending more money I don't have to... unless it was for bling, bragging rights, or major hp of course

It won't be together by then. Then I am flying home to WV for a week over the holiday. Then in July I get to have my wisdom teeth cut out so there goes another week or two. I just wnat to make sure I got my excuses lined up...

Right now I am waiting on a few parts, I need to order a few more parts, and then I still need to fab/have a machine shop make a few parts.

Really I am slowly getting there. Just sucks when you need stuff and you have to wait until the end of the month to get paid. I may just part it all out since it is already tore apart... who needs an engine? who needs a B pipe? Who needs a pump and prop?

We all saw that coming:twak:

Dibs! lol

Man I will never own a new ski. I have spent WAYYYYY TOO MUCH money on this pile. I guess I should go back to the world of being a couch potato...

 

[hangtime]

It never ends until you have the best of everything in your ski and than you start over when it blows up .

Pretty much. By the way who wants to buy me a new Japanese hull, a Skat Mag pump, and total loss?
