DMR Vault service

Holla,

Am doing this for the first time myself – got the tools and have bought bearings and bushings – non DMR [that £25 service kit is a joke] – but….

The one thing I’m am not sure on is replacement internal rubber seals – I can see that one is a bit damaged – I think the bushing is slightly out.

Can anyone tell me please what I need / where to get them?

Cheers, Al

Following cos I need to service my Vaults too. Where did you get the bearings / bushings from out of interest?

Generic bearings, nothing special. See how I get on. The pair on there are pretty old and have been rebuilt at least once.

If I need to bin them, I will, and get cheaper disposable pedals – Welgos, or HTs.

These are the best option for replacement bushings:

Any thoughts on the rubber seals?

Ta very much 🙂

Mine need new spindles. Actually the bearings were fine. But there is still play in the bushings even with new bushings

I just bought some v ring seals from eBay.

@goby

Was it these?

Bushings are 12mm ID 14mm OD so these look good.

@colp

Yep thats the ones or it could have been the next size 13.5-15.5, just double check and measure the axle diameter where the seal sits. They seem to work ok.

@ampthill

Where did you get the replacement spindles from? My Vaults need a complete overhaul, however with new bushes, spindles, bearings and seals I may as well buy some V11s or if you look around Vaults are coming in around £74.

@asbrooks mine need knew spindles but I haven’t bought any yet

@asbrooks

I got some new axles from here

@ampthill

Do you have a micrometer?

Brand new Vault spindles are exactly 12.00mm at the bushing section (I just checked) worth checking yours.
