What type of Grease for jack shaft bearings?

[Byam]

Yup it moves freely, I tried pulling slow, fast . Tried to wiggle it slowly no luck. Next step is going to be a pry bar.

Take a Look at this beautifull tool.

Okay did you make that?

 

[Byam]

A friend build it for us! I am sure the dealer don't have a nice fast tool like that

 

[cannondale27]

No they don't! Wish I would have measured bolt pattern. Great idea!

I was able to get my brake assembly off without splitting the caliper assembly. It was tricky but less of a hassle than dealing with all the brake fluid. It all depends on how easy the rotor will come off. Mine was fairly easy to remove.

Never took viper apart yea as it new. But by reading this I have to remove my brake assembly to pack drive shaft bearing?

 

[cannondale27]

Yes

 

[Allan]

Yes

Thanks. Maybe it would be nice to write up how to do this in FAQ. By the look of it if you start wrong it can get very hard.

 

[cannondale27]

It's there.

Hey Cannondale when removing the 3 bolts for the brake assembly do you have to support the drive shaft at all? I have the third one almost out but the bolt is now on an angle as it looks like the drive shaft is being pulled to the back of the sled, so I wasn't sure if I should loosen the track or if that shaft should be supported, I don't want to have anything ruined on the chaincase side.

 

[cannondale27]

Yes loosen track. Good catch!

 

[yamaha06]

Yes loosen track. Good catch!

Well I lossened the track, and when I pulled the last bolt out the shaft still moved towards the rear of the sled. Could this do any damage inside the chaincase? I don't see really anyway of supporting the drive shaft

 

[cannondale27]

It will be fine. She slid right off?

 

[cannondale27]

You could put a tiedown around track and skid to hold track up. Its just the weight of track pulling on it.

Hopefully your clutches dont have as much belt dust on them as sled does?
