Bearing-Ball

Take front assembly off by removing 6 bolts. Take belt wheel off by hitting middle shaft to remove it. Loosen the two set screws to remove the shaft from bearing. Take out three holds that cover the bearing They will fall down below so watch for them. Replace bearing and reassemble.

Before installing the new H Ball bearing, we drilled a slightly bigger hole clear thru the steel and copper bearing surface and thread it for a tubing extension and a grease zirk, so we could lube the shaft where the set screw was, without taking the snow machine apart. This allows us to lube the main shaft in a few seconds during snow removal if needed. It works great. Special instructions are as follows: I recommend buying a new H bearing because when and if the copper surface of the bearing rune dry, it can cause the steel housing to spin inside the metal holder which will wear out quickly.
