P22 Needle Bearing Lubrication

[JeffBrines]

Dumb question - Pulled my clutch apart last night being the needle bearings that allow the belt to sit stationary at "maximum tightness" were not functioning as they should. I was often getting belt squeal etc.

I was able to clean everything up and regrease the interface. However, when I was thinking about this I realized there really isn't a robust seal and this grease could leak out and get all over the clutch/belt.

Does anyone have a service manual and can tell me what Polaris recommends here?

TIA!

I take these P22 clutches apart all day...they do have seals on each side of the bearing, most times they stick to the bearing where removing so you may not have seen them or they fell off...I use a good wheel bearing grease to repack the bearings...I have not seen to many bad seals they are reusable... the bearing should be not easy to move once on, if your's spins easy it needs to be repacked...I have not seen a grease leakage from the bearing seals...
