Good day,
I have the seal and bearing on my front diff input shaft gone bad.
The seal is leaking and the bearing is shot.

I have removed the cover that holds the seal and small bearing by removing the 3 bolts.

I want to replace the larger bearing next. Can that come out with the diffferential in the bike? If i take out the circlip will it come out easily?
has anyone done this before?

 

you might be able to do a search for it onthe site as i seem to remember(not 100%) reading in here that some one had done the front end seal and maybe bearing? you could always try to remove the C clip and see and if not then remove the whole assembly.

 

If youv got the driveline off thats the hardest part, unplug electrical wires and tak bolts out from underneath, assembly will come out of frame where you can work on it

 

do i really have to remove axels and cv joints and pull out the gearcase?

 

Just take snap ring out and input shaft and bearing will come out. You dont need to pull the whole gear box out of the machine.
