Which bearing exactly?

The clutch side drive axel

Loosen the track in the back.

Unbolt the speedo assembly.

Unbolt the bearing flange.

Slide bearing off?

Reverse steps?

Shouldn't be too hard, just don't bugger up the end of the shaft where the speedo piece goes in.

bearing

I pulled my cover off and found the bearing cage out with two balls left in it. Guess I was a little late but no harm to the shaft. Couldn't get a grip on the remaining part of the race so I scored across it with a cut off wheel in the dremel. One tap with a chisel and it split and slid right off. Its a cheap Russian bearing, cut real easy. $38? from the dealer, I used the same bearing as behind the driven clutch only from my local bearing place. It doesn't have the grease holes but its sealed and that's what the Pro's use now also. Part number on the bag for a Koyo was 6205SEE $11

Warm the new bearing up and have the appropreate size pipe-socket to drive it on. I used a bolt (mine was metric 09 155) and washer to add tension, then tap on, repeat. Remember your chain case is attached on the other end.

On nice!!! So you didnt even take the drive axel out then? Thats i was expectiong to do anyways but ill try your method out. Ihave a bearing heater at work and all my good tools there so thats where its going to take place.

So i went and ordered the bearing from polaris...54 bucks haha i new i was getting the shaft and tried to get the bearing code off them to just by it at the bearing place or "borrow" it from work but they didnt have the number for me. Thennn found the allballz kit for the whole shaft for have the price!! and my dealer even has them as a supplier. After some words i got my special order money refunded and got the kit price.

I just did this to mine last week so it was fresh in my mind yet. Much easier to leave the whole shaft in.
