BALL BEARING REPLACEMENT
Ball bearings (Figure 68) are used throughout
the snowmobile engine and chassis to reduce
power loss, heat and noise resulting from fric-
tion. Because ball bearings are precision made
parts, they must be maintained by proper lubri-
cation and maintenance. Replace damaged bear-
ings. Using a damaged bearing can result in
additional damage to an adjacent shaft or case.
If installing a new bearing, exercise care to pre-
vent damage to the new bearing. While bearing
replacement is described in the individual chap-
ters where applicable, the following should be
used as a guideline.
NOTE
Unless otherwise specified, install bear-
ings with the manufacturer's mark or
number facing outward.

necessary to remove a bearing that is in good
condition. However, improper bearing removal
will damage the bearing and maybe the shaft or
case half. Note the following when removing
bearings:
1. If using a puller to remove a bearing on a
shaft, exercise care so that shaft damage does not
occur. Always place a piece of metal between the
end of the shaft and the puller screw. In addition,
