got shaft out on chain side and track off but still hanging on clutch side. behind speedo is 2 triangle hangers that bearing rides on ,question is , isnt one of hangers suppose to be inside of tunnle and one under clutch it looks like someone installed both hangers from inside behind speed drive and i cant get bearing off to remove shaft since cogs are still on

If my memory is correct ,on my 93'RXL sks that drive bearing under the secondary clutch with speedo has the bearing holders,plates,or what ever you call them on the one side,but it may be different on yours .The bearing should slide of the shaft with a little grunt work,may need a puller to help it along.

ok i tried with a cheap puller plus also behind bearing is a collar with set screw i removed screw and still no luck.. maybe a bit of heat will help thanks

I think the coller with set screw is to lock the shaft so the shaft stays in place .Man ...I'm trying to remember how I did mine ,& come to think of it ,it was a bear to get off the shaft.I think I drilled a hole to line up with the shaft on the side of the belly pan .Like the main dive clutch has with rubber grommlet ,hole saw of course 1/2in.,or 3/4in hole. With the puller in place torqed up, stick a shaft (1/2in socket extention) ,or simular through the hole on to the end of the puller & strike with a hammer & repeat.You should see the bearing starting to move.WD 40 may help some.Then find a rubber plug to plug the hole after you are done. This is to pull the bearing of corse not the locking collar with set screw.

That collar should loosen and slide off if you rotate it.

It only uses 2 triangles and they are both supposed to be on one side. I change mine and put them on inside of bulkhead (closer to belly pan) this way I can change bearing on trail. If the bearing has been on there a few years. I cut the triangles off and than slide shaft out and just press bearing off. Those triangles are 5 bucks for 2 from farm and fleet.

k thanks i will try that will probly

be easy getting bearing off once out of sled

much easier, you should be able to pry the one over the bearing if you find it hard to get something in there to cut it. Also I think that the collar has two set screws and some older models actually slides over the bearing.

i decide to keep it in and installed track off my rxl was kinda pita but got it to go i know last yr i took suspension out of rxl to get welded and went back in easy but this xcr chassy fought me for a few hours until i decided to turn it on its side then only took 15 minutes, all bearings seemed to spin easy so now on to waiting for clutch to get out of shop and see if bog is gone and hope engine will last the yr
