The riding season is over for me. Post season inspection reveals the PB80'S in both sleds are good to go for next year.
Sometimes the governor cup is difficult to nudge loose by hand, mainly because it's such a snug fit on the shaft. As a result, I fashioned some rolling-wedge pry bars to gently loosen the cup. I doesn't take much; just a wiggle and off it comes. I used some key stock and old bearing races that were laying in my pile. I cut the races to shape, then tig welded them to the key stock. A dash of powder coat and that's it!
Good night until December!

This is all great news and a rally helpful write up. Did some pto noise stay but ALL the clutch rattle went away by the end of your experimenting?
