Apex mountain chain case disasemble

[summitking]

Hi i em in teh process of installing avid drivers in my Mcx apex . I em wonderng if there is a trick to get the drive shaft out? do i have to remove teh intire chain case? I have it all apart i just cant get the dam thing apart. Also does anyone have the measurments for the avid drivers on teh shaft?

I'm pretty sure it's just like the rx1. You need to pull the chain case loose from the chassis and loosen the setscrews on the bearing that is on the clutch side of the driveshaft and then slide the shaft towards the chaincase and drop it out, Ken.

Wicked thankd ffor the info. so does the bearing have to come off the shaft? or do you have to loosen the thing behind the bearing that has the torks screw in it? I dont think the back side bearing holder leaves teh tunnel but imay be wrong. thanks for the info

The apex axle removal is almost identical to the Rx, with the difference being fewer parts to drop if I remember correct. Summit king, are you asking about the speedo pick-up bearing? If so, just take out the 2 set screws so they don't hang up on the side of the tunnel when removing the bearing.

From what I remember it should be two torx set screws. Since you already have the cover and gears off the chaincase just take out the two or maybe three bolts( with a 14mm socket) that hold it to the tunnel and pull the drive shaft out toward the chaincase sde unyill there's room to let it drop out. I've never done this with the skid frame in place so you may have to pull that out first, Ken.

drivers

Thanks fro all the help guys i gtot it all apart and all i need now is the measurments for the avid drivers.

I used the Wahl drivers on my rx1 and measured the stock drivers to figure where the centers were and pressed the new drivers on to the corresponding locations on the shaft. The stock drivers are centered on the drive windows and so the antiratchets should be also, Ken.

My dad already pressed off my stock drivers when i wasnt home so i cant measure the stockers thats why i was wondering if anyone had tehe measuremnts fro the avids on the apex.

Give your dad a big kick in the #*$&@!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could put the bare driveshaft back in the chassis and get a centerline measurement on it and go from there by figuring the centers on the track and put the antiratchets inthe same location, Ken.
