Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Does this kit include both the bearing and the seal? A: Yes, the kit pairs the drive shaft and chain case bearings with their matching seals so both wear items are addressed at the same time. Confirm the exact positions against your chain case layout during disassembly.

Q: What causes chain case seal failure on these sleds? A: Age, heat cycling, and grit working into the seal lip are the common causes, and a worn bearing can let the shaft move and damage the seal. Replacing bearings and seals together avoids a repeat repair.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
