I am doing a track swap and have run into an issue. This is on a 2007 CF 800.
I have removed the DD case from the sled and have actually removed the track. The issue that I have is that the drive shaft seems to be seized into the bearing in the brake caliper housing. I have removed the rotor retaining nut with the specal socket that I got from BDE. The brake rotor seems to be loose enough on the shaft to slied in an out a little bit but it contacts the caliper. No problem there. I removed the nuts that hold the brake caliper housing to the chasis and can pull whole unit out till the driver contact the side of the tunnel on the inside.
Like I said before it appears that the drive shaft is seized into the inner bearing race inside the the caliper housing. I could split the caliper and probbaly get the rotor off, but I am not sure if that will really get me anywhere, other than having to re-blead the brakes again when i put it all together again. I am assuming that the drive shaft normally just slides into the bearning and does not have a retaining clip.
Has anyone run into a situation like this and have an easy way to get the drive shaft out of this bearing without destroying parts?
I am open to suggestions.
Thanks.
