Gearbox ball bearing replacement question

The number 1 cover will need removed to replace that bearing .

I've replaced the seals you replaced a couple of times. The lips of the oil seal and o-ring need to be super wet with gear oil per the instructions when installed, I've also used super lube when installing. The oil seal also needs to go straight so the lips don't deform or it may continue to leak. I've got a pic of a little tool I made on this forum somewhere. I've also done it without the tool.

I've also replaced that bearing. I don't recall it being a sealed bearing on one side. I think oil will flow throw it and the oil seals you replaced are all that stops the leaking. But like ace said, you do have to take the side cover off. I'm not sure how easy it is to get off on the max. On the two seater, you have to get the engine/gearbox up a little to get the cover off.

Thanks Slowindown. I'll take a peek tonight and good tip on the oil!

Post 7 in this thread has my little oil seal tool and part list for it.

Belt Slipping In High

Hi I’m new to the forums so sorry if this has already been asked but I have recently just bought my first can am, it’s a used 2015 Commander 1000. I haven’t really had any problems with it until this evening when I took it for a ride and about 5-10 minutes down the road my belt started slipping...

Do you remember which post it was where we walked you through getting that cover off? My thumb is tired and that was a long thread . Lol

Actually it’s not horrible. But you do have to remove motor mount bolts and the rear gearbox mount bolt. Slide motor forward then pick gearbox mount up out of the cradle . Then cover will come off.

I’ll find that thread and post back. I remember taking a bunch of stuff apart but not as much as when I replaced the gearbox. Also his is a max. Maybe easier.

It could be I’ve never had the covers of a max .

starts about post 46 on this page. We ramble a lot. Getting more to the point around post 69…

Thanks you guys. Much appreciated. Wasn't able to do anything tonight so I will tomorrow. Had kiddos baseball!

The gaskets are easy. The get old, hard and compressed. I've not changed the chain tensioner seals but mine has been leaking too and I need to - it looks straightforward. In any event, I don't see how either of those could get oil inside of your cvt housing.

Only way oil is getting in the box is from the out out shaft on engine or the input seal on gearbox.

Valve cover is damp but not leaking enough to do anything other than collect dust. Looks like the biggest leak is the chain tensioner cap.
