It uses clips instead of the nut to hold it in. Also thicker in some areas and hopefully hardened properly. Check prices. The whole assy was very close in price to just shaft.
I upgraded to 17/Sidewinder setup last year. Kept 16 shaft and replaced inner chaincase and bearings. No more wobble bearing!
Yes remove cover and inspect upper gear bushing,bearing and tensioner roller screws.
Appreciate the reply. I will definitely inspect everything over the summer.
Thank you for your reply. Better safe than sorry, so inspection will be done.
Look up my user name "Mills". I updated my 2014 to the 2017 shaft, shaft/bearing mount on clutch side, chain case bearing and internals and put a parts list in the post. I would HIGHLY recommend getting rid of the wobbler bearing if you have it. Newer jack shafts are larger diameter outside the chain case so so have to change the bearing/mount for the shaft on the clutch side. I got all used parts from Travis at Barn of Parts and the internal spacers, clip rings inside the chain case from Babbitts Online for around $270.00
YES!!!! Look up my user name and see the write up I did for the 2014 to 2017 upgrade I did on my jackshaft and bearings. Get rid of the shitty wobble bearing before it takes out the case with it.
