Secondary/jackshaft bearing greasing and washer install order

[steveg_nh]

This is for an 07 Attak.

I took my secondary clutch off today to grease the jackshaft bearing. I replaced the driveshaft bearing completely. Good thing too, it was in rough shape. Anyway, on the jackshaft, I'm not convinced the previous owner had it all on there correctly. I looked at the parts diagrams, but they are not detailed enough.

Against the bearing is a stepped washer, that is seated into the bearing (smaller ring in), then a regular shim/washer, then the spacer, a single shim, and large washer, and the bolt. The bolt washer seats against the spacer, so the shim just floats. Doesn't seem right, and I think I have too much play with the clutch. I'm going to have to measure, but does that even sound right?

I can get some pics if it will help. Tried a search, and read a whole bunch of threads on the jackshaft greasing, but not much in reinstall order.

As for greasing itself, I am modifying this thread to ask a question or too about that.

Stepped washer with step side against the bearing, then a washer, clutch, cylinder spacer, two shims, then washer, bolt. There will be about a 1/8" or so of float of the secondary on the jackshaft.

Thanks. I'm pretty sure that's what I have but I'll pull it off and doublecheck. Here's a pic at the bolt. It's the spacer, one shim, washer then bolt. Not two. Could be because an adjustment was done? That's why I need to check play and alignment. I would say I have between 1/8-1/4 of play on shaft.

The secondary floats side to side. Completely normal. The large washer is for the bolt keeping the secondary from falling off the shaft. The thin shims are for setting the offset.Taking note of how you took it off will insure you put it on as it was meant to be.

I more wasn't sure about the inner stepped washer. I always am careful when I remove it to keep everything the same. But the assumption there is that the previous owner did as well and had it correct. So I wanted to double check. When I saw the outer shim just floating I wasn't sure if that was correct but I do know the secondary has some play in it.

So I got into the bearing today after seeing a tip on how to pop the seal out. It was a rubber coated metal seal on my bearing. Anyway, I cleaned it out really good with WD-40, blew it out with air and let it dry. Spinning by hand (as much as I can) shows a bearing in good shape. So I bought a grease needle and packed some grease in there. It's hard to get it past the race, so I used my finger and ran it around the bearing a few times hoping it pushed some in. Moving the jackshaft seemed to pull some in as well. But how to do you really know if you got enough grease into the actual bearing (and not just superficially on the outside of the race), and if you put enough grease in there at all?

I have it all back together, and now am second guessing (I tend to do that, LOL) if I was patient enough in trying to work the new grease in. I know I read to be careful not to pack too much in there. When I got the seal off too, it was hard to even see any grease in there before! When I used the WD-40, so old stuff did run out though. Here's some pics of it cleaned up, but I didn't get one once I packed it with full synthetic grease.

Thanks.

I always made sure I had extra like grease level with the outer race then when you press the seal back in it pushes the grease into the bearing. just have to be sure you got the seal in good so it don't pop back off and wipe off excess. you can then run the track on the stand and pop it back off and see how it looks if you want to second guess. (if lol )

Thanks. Pretty much what I did. I inspected the seal too, and it looked good. Had metal under the rubber, so it was easy to see if it was true. No nicks from me popping it out too. I used the grease needed, rubbing my finger around the race a few times, and then popped the seal back on and wiped it up to make sure it was properly seated. Seemed really good. Glad to do this.
