Banshee0028 Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 (edited) I have the clutch cover off since I just put in a new clutch and billit impeller. The bearings do move a little, but not too easy. When I put the impeller in, it does turn easy, but it does not actually spin the bearings much, it just mostly spins inside the bearing. It does spin it a little, just not much, and it definately wont "continue to spin if you try to spin it hard" . Is this normal, or do I need to replace the bearing? I am trying to get this back to gether so I can ride this weekend, as this has been a couple of weeks its been down . I really dont want to have to order another part and wait another week to ride Edited October 14, 2006 by Banshee0028 Quote
differentstrokes Posted October 14, 2006 Report Posted October 14, 2006 Mine was the same way the last time I had my cover off and the quad only had maybe 30 hours on it. The bearing didn't spin really easy, but it didn't stick either. No problems here as far as overheating or anything. Was the bearing pretty dry when you checked it? Run it I guess, if it overheats you know whats up :: . If you want to replace it get one from the dealer, they can get most anything in 2 days so you won't be down for to long. Quote

The bearing really looks in good shape, and was oilded fine. It was not completely flush with the cover, so I lightly tapped it back in place. Maybe this had something to do with it, although it was still stiff before. I just tried it again, and it will spin if I use a little force and try to turn it, but again with the impeller and the pin, it just spins and does not turn the bearing! Is it possible to just remove the bearing without damaging the seal? This way I can try to match up the bearing and just replace that. Quote
