[QUOTE="Bub, post: 1444195, member: 97827"] Oh my my, what have I started? I should have said kliks, everyone knows that term. I found the long bearing pin (Yam calls it a collar) in the relay arm with some damage, surface grooved 1/3 way round at one location. I'm ordering one and bearings today. I could likely rotate and reuse it and never know but since it's apart I'm making everything happy. The original (I assume) red grease had become like wax, I picked it out in dry chunks. Installed a zert for the forward bearing which will make future lubing nice. The single u-joint on the shaft drive is still baffling, I checked the drawing and indeed there is only the one, nothing in the final drive housing. How this doesn't vibrate like a coked up squirrel is beyond me, angular deflection causes velocity changes and must be cancelled with another u-joint mounted opposed. Am I missing something here? Any input would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
