im still pretty new to the sammi world. i have a stock front sammi axle and the right knuckle has a pretty healthy drip. i was wondering how big of a deal this would be to fix. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've rebuilt a few... isn't that hard, although it is messy.

TrailTough sells a front end rebuild kit for $200, has all the bearings, seals etc that you need

It leaks because the inner axle seal in behind the birf is worn out. The fluid isn't supposed to go into the knuckle when the seal is good. They cost about $10 if you just want to replace that instead of all the bearings and shit. :D

it is hard to screw things up. follow your FSM (or whatever) and get your hands dirty. that's how you learn, everybody starts that way. even i, black-belt kung-fu master, had to start somewhere. okay, i started with my bicycle when i took the training wheels off with an adjustable wrench, but it's never too late. get after it!
