Cush Drive Bearing Help

Post by modteepee »

Can someone please walk me step by step on how to get the bearings out of a 1990 Sport cush drive? I've tried to press the center piece through the exposed bearing with no success.
The two black shiny things, one on each side...do they retain anything? what is thier purpose?

Thanks in advance.

Bob,

not sure which 2 shiny things you mean. In the sprocket carrier there is a black spacer, a bearing, a black spacer, a bearing, a black spacer. (look at Tav.22 of the Paso750 parts catalogue).
It looks like this:

rear:

you press the bearings out from rear to front. That black bush seen on the lower pic remains in place.

Great info and fast too! As I see it now, I should be pressing the whole bearing / spacer package out and then remove each bearing from the assembly. Is that correct??

you were lucky I was cleaning the garage today and had the parts on the table :)

Remove both outer black spacers (they are slightly stuck in the bearings). Then ie using an old small wrench socket drive out one bearing and the middle spacer. If those are removed the inner bearing shouldn`t be that hard to remove. Remember they will only come out towrds the front side.
I guess getting them out one by one is easier than trying to press out both at once.
