Hey all,
I yanked my DD out of my 08 M8 tonight. Sled has just under 1400 miles on it. My purpose of yanking it was to change that suspect bearing...6203...So lone behold its toast and lil chunks are everywhere..I guess no surprise to some. So normally when you remove the cover you should be able lift that shaft/gear up from the plantary setup and just change the bearing out. Well my 6203 bearing is not attached to the shaft anymore. Its stuck where it rides in the plantary. What i'm looking for is someone that has ran into this problem before (bearing not on the shaft) and how they removed it? Or is it pretty simple when I pull the big snap ring on the plantary set up and split it apart? I'm worried that its not holding on the shaft anymore and I may have to change the shaft/gear out?? I can put the shaft/gear in and out of the plantary seat up really easy--seems the shaft is slightly smaller.
2nd---the input shaft (Secondary clutch area) was wet when I pulled the secondary? Is this normal or should I be changing that seal as well?
3rd--When I removed the reverse actuator assembly--I pulled the 3 torx bolts and suddenly the motor shifted. I could twist it and put the bolts back in if I wanted but was just curious how it will work when it comes to re assemby time.. After I removed the motor, I had no resistance on the splined shaft??? Is this normal--What the procedure for reinstalling the motor when putting everything back in the chassis??
All said and done,the oil was slightly milky and I am thinking I should change everything out ( BDX KIT) and I should be good for a while.
What your thoughts??
Thx in advance
