I have a YM1500 that lost the left brakes. Upon opening the brake hub I found it was full of oil... serial number is YM1500-2022 with less than 300 original hours and is in mint condition. It has green paint under the black so I'm guessing it is originally a green model...
I'm doing my best to find parts, but can't make heads or tails of the parts diagrams. I know I need a seal (part number unknown) and the collar as the collar is rusted. I don't know what else I may need while I'm in there.
Also, is there a good way to remove the seal without damaging the sealing surfaces? Any tips or tricks for getting the job done right the first time? Can I clean the brake shoes as they still have a LOT of life left or will they be oil soaked and have to be replaced?
On a side note, I also have a leak at the top of the hydraulic valve. It looks to be an o-ring issue as the shaft is in good shape, but seems to be leaking. Any idea where I can get parts for it without buying a whole new valve? I can always take it to the local hydraulic shop but hate spending money for silly things I can do myself.
