Hi everyone,
It's my first post, and I wanted to tap into your brains about my 4-TEC SC 185. It's a 2003 model, and had the SC rebuilt in 2004 by the dealer under warranty. I sort of remember him saying something about ceramic and using steel washers, but after doing some research, they weren't available back then. I now have about 210 total hours.
I have a SC rebuild kit I bought a MANY! years ago, along with some super lube. I counted the teeth on the gear, and there is 17, which I think is right for my ski.
My question is, is this a good kit to rebuild the SC? Is there anything I should look out for? I do have access to B.U.D.S if needed.
Any pointers and pitfalls to watch out for, or links to great videos (there are lots of part videos and hearsay out there!) are greatly appreciated.
I am up for making a video about the whole removal, SC overhaul, torquing and rebuild if that is something you guys think is valuable. (I even think I purchased a press about the same time as this kit, a decade ago, that I still have and have used for a few wheel hub bearings since!!)
Hoping to get another 10 or 20 years from this ski, well, it's seen me from my early 20's until near now 50! so maybe another decade would be perfect.
I am based in the UK, if that matters for resources, etc.
Thank you!
JR
