JackShaft Bearing

[fxnytro1050]

Trying to clean and grease the bearing, wondering if i actually have to take the driver shaft out and chaincase apart. Cant i just get the bearing off the shaft from the clutch side without taking anything else apart?

Just pop the seal be carefully us brake clean and get yourself a needle ejector for your grease gun an you are good to good that's the easys way takes no time.

X2 as darv said, while your there might as well clean and grease your drive shaft bearing also.

Can you replace that bearing without removing the shaft? If you have to remove it what is the best way to do it? Way going to do it last year but the bearing was fine yet. I would say repacking or replacing the driveshaft bearing yearly is highly recommended!

Just pop the seals off and check the bearings, if they are not gone just clean them out and re pack with grease, pop the seals back in and you're good to go! If the lower bearing is gone it can be replaced without removing the shaft or taking the chain case apart. Hopefully you just need to clean and re-pack them.

You got to pull the clutch. Then you can pop the snapring and the seal to regrease.
