      You’re welcome. That’s is why I made the video! I looked everywhere for a great tutorial and couldn’t find one. I ended up with over 2 hours of footage I had to break down. I hope yours goes well.

    This was great help. I had issues with axel bolts under motor. I ended up removing the motor to access the bolts. I was able to remove brake plate bolts without messing them up. Reconnecting the brake cable was the hardest thing I had to deal with. Cart brakes are much stronger and no noise.

    I had two g29s I bought around same time. Second one was a good deal and couldn't pass it up. One had team axle and other was newer when the switched back to standard axle with drum brakes. Team axle definitely has better braking power with much less force being applied to pedal but I'm kinda glad I sold that one and kept newer drum brake model even if brakes aren't as good. Much simpler maintenance. I have such steep inclines here I really need front brakes as my rears.overheated a while back while going downhill with too heavy of a trailer. It could have ended badly as I was forced to exit driveway into main road at high rate of speed. Live and learn.

    Thank you for this video, very much appreciated and the BEST video around for step by step.
    2 Questions:
    #1 Question: Just want to get your advice, if I had noticed that the motor had been leaking oil for quite some time and I'm just getting around to fix it; I went ahead and followed your video and pulled the transaxle down; and the best I can tell is the the oil leak was from main/case seal; Is it normal wear & tear for that main seal to go bad? --- I removed the drain plug and NO oil came out. :(.
    #2 I supposed I'll have top OPEN Up the case so I can put in the new seal(?), I'll order and use the same seal you did. Thank you for any advice.

    • @TightWadDIY
      @TightWadDIY  3 місяці тому

      I’d assume a new seal would solve the issue. It’s hard to say without seeing it though.

    I was going to take my 2013 G-29 Yamaha to shop but they can’t guarantee they can fix it or get parts so after this video I will try! My rearend grinds and cart doesn’t move. Do you have a video showing what the end of axle locks into inside the housing?

    Great video. Thank you for doing it.
    One question? I have replaced the transaxle oil on my 2013 YRDA G29 cart as a maintaince service. (at 5 yrs) There was no noise or squeeks when applying the brakes before I changed the oil.
    Now with the new Yamalube oil, I get a slight chirp or squeek just before the cart comes to a stop at times.
    Your opinion? Should I not worry about it? or try changing the oil again?
    Thank's in advance.

      Check the ball bearings on the axle.

    • @randyinwa
      @randyinwa 3 місяці тому

      If I'm not mistaken, these models have what's called an input shaft bumper. It's just a rubber cup that slides into the motor female spline shaft. They need to be replaced every 4-5 years so that (for what ever reason) it doesn't mess up the softer metal splines on the motor. Pull your motor and look very closely at the motor splines and you'll see some of the teeth will be worn. Hopefully you don't have to replace the input shaft.The noise your talking about was cured by installing a lesser priced rebuilt motor which included the bumper. PS, "they" don't just sell the armature alone.

    • @randyinwa
      @randyinwa 3 місяці тому

      The motor shaft slipping on the input shaft sound a whole heck of a lot like a bad bearing.

    Hi! I appreciate the video! I am replacing my brakes as well. I noticed when putting the friction disc and plates back in you used 5 discs and 4 plates? It is kind of sped up there so I’m not for sure. But my kit came with 5 plates. And you ended with friction disc and I keep ending with that last plate. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

    • @TightWadDIY
      @TightWadDIY  Рік тому

      Sorry I just now saw this comment. I put mine back exactly how it came off. Looks like I used 5 friction plates(with grooves) and 4 smooth ones. So start and end with a grooved.

  • @wilfredbeijers2299

    The last plate (with the teeth on the axle) cannot be removed because the bearing is locking it on the axle. Any tips for removing it? It is not shown in the video
