Axle bearing

[Glenn]

Can I change the axle bearing on speed sensor side on my 2009 Venture RS without taking skid or chaincase apart?
Thanks

I'm not sure about your 09 venture, but on my 05 Vector, 06 Apex & 07 Phazer I have changed them all without a lot of difficulty. There are 2 torx set screws on the bearing flange inside the tunnel on the axle that must be undone first. Then you remove the bolts on the speedo pick-up. Remove the speedo wheel from the end of the axle. Remove the bearing retaining cover. Now the bearing is exposed and with a little tapping from inside the tunnel in should slide out easily. I always remove the lower plastic side panel & secondary clutch first which really opens up the area makes it a lot easier.

Thanks Hardy
I will try that way

one tip to make your life easyer, loosen the track tension off.

Track tension off for sure,just did mine,it had 19000 miles and popped off like nothing

I never had to release my track tension, but I don't run it very tight in the first place, just tight enough that it doesn't ratchet. All my sleds are 121" tracks the 144" may make a difference.
