Hey man. Just a FYI you can do the mag side I do mine every time I do the pto side. It sucks but pull recoil then the flywheel remove top and lower stator bolts leaving one in. Then use a syringe with 5ml of isoflex squirt it slowly in lower bolt hole the air Comes out the top hole. Then re assemble had a 08 800r with 6800 miles on it I did this every season. Lower end never let loose must have helped.
The worst thing you can do is use an impact on a clutch bolt. you screw the bearings on the rod (chatter the chrome off the lower rod bearings) next thing you do not use a soft face hammer on the end of the puller...
thats a bearing buddy ur supposed to pump grease in thru the fitting at the other end of the hose.Thats a good setup but someone didnt use it the way it was ment
its a fudgy setup ive heard of people pooping seals if there to much grease in there. for the 10 minuts it takes to take it apart ill stick to doing that every season
Does anyone use aeroshell 22 heard I works better than isoflex its used in the aviation world in landing gear and turbine bearings and heli rotors sounds like good grease
I used a syringe to fill the bearing. I believe the Isoflex is designed to somewhat harden like wax when cold then liquify when warm. The concept is to keep the bearings always coated. Unfortunately ski doo hasn’t developed a better design for their great engines. The other manufacturers have seemed to figure it out
Good video you should mention that the clutch has balancing marks and sometimes previous owners did not know about and should be checked , out of balance clutch not cool Cheer from the great white north
Nice video, Thank you for doing it, very well done. One question is when you re-install the new gasket, does it just pop in or what's the best way to get it into the groove? Thanks again, much appreciated.
although clicking it more then once is unnecessary, and if your a amateur it can SOMETIMES over torque the bolt. it can also be done without over torquing the bolt. but it is unnecessary iether way
if the outer one is that chunky. then what about the ones inside the motor and the one on mag side? the ones u cant get to? main reason i left doo camp! worst design ever! would buy a car ot truck if the crank bearings were packed with grease? Absolutely not! Junk!
There are 6 bearings, the 2 outers are isoflex on each side, and the 2 middle ones are in an oil bath of crank case oil. There is a procedure to add grease to the PTO and MAG side inners but you cannot clean the old grease. Its added by using hot grease and a syringe gravity fed and a non air tight administration. Otherwise if you inject grease into a sealed bearing it will blow the seal. Also you don’t use a lot of grease since these are in high temp areas and need thermal expansion space. The amount of grease used in this video is way too much. Best bet is to buy a service manual and follow the directions closely. I personally wouldn’t bother with the inner bearings and just save those for a rebuild. These ETECs are best rebuilt every 10000km to avoid catastrophic failures. Doing a rebuild on a running engine where you still have a good core to exchange is much cheaper then replacing a grenaded motor. With the core swap and a day in your garage can install an ETEC overhaul kit for around $1200 CAD.
The clutch side outer bearings are the most durable bearings in that Junk. The inners are also greased as are the Mag side. The inners used to be oiled but not in a bath. This video, while full of good intentions merely put lipstick on a Pig!
Anyone try Metalon grease? I've seen it used in industrial applications, it can more than double bearing life, I'm wondering if it would work well for these engine bearings
The mag and inners are hard to get to, most people say there pto side lets go first , possibly due to heat from clutches, maybe true maybe not , but since its so easy to do pto side y not do it.
heat from clutch has nothing to do with grease getting crappy like that. thats just how all grease gets after use and no fresh grease to push out the old crap. the other 3 bearings are just as bad as the one u just took apart!
kwmiked I haven't looked at the other bearings so I can't really comment, but the clutch side seals are the most common to go so some say because if heat from clutches , how could anyone really know for sure if that's true or not.
I RIDE 705 ignore that guys bullshit. lol 3 more bearings.. There's 2 bearings on the Mag side.. 2 on the PTO side..and 2 in the center.. PTO side bearings subject to excessive heat. good preventative maintenance! next time use a butter knife to force the grease into the bearing behind that one. good luck and happy braaapin! FYI hopefully the previous owner didn't damage the inner seal of the bearing behind it with that bearing buddy being forced with too much grease. I'd pull the seal and inspect from a month from now.
Don Mega tell me how u get grease to the 2 center bearings and the mag side bearing? U dont! from the 2 i had go, the center bearings were all rusted up and gone. so tell me how greasing one outer bearing helps the rest of the bearings on the crank!??? it doesn't!
This guy is wrong with the water to pull the clutch off. Yesit works but you can't use the bolt that holds the clutch on. You need a bolt matching the threads that the puller has which threads into the clutch itself
You can use water and Teflon on skidoo because the original clutch bolt actually threads into the clutch before the crank unlike the old Polaris clutches
