I was able to remove the two bolts on the carrier housing. I then worked the drive shaft loose from the rear gear case, by sliding it side to side and back and forth a few times. I then slid the drive shaft through the front A-arm on the drivers side. There is a spring/clamp that I used hog nose pliers to remove from in front of the bearing. The bearing at that point should have slid off, but as with all my projects, it didn't and I had to tap it several times with a hammer after soaking it in a penetrant.
I am in the process of trying to find a replacement locally, but the dealer didn't have the bearing and would have to order it from Polaris ($40) and was unsure of how long it would take to get it here. (I need my unit Friday to duck hunt in) I went to the local parts house and they ordered a bearing without the housing based off of the digital caliper measurements they took.
None of these options are as ideal as coming home with a cast bearing that has a grease fitting, but I have my fingers crossed that this band aid will repair it until I can fix it properly.
In the meanwhile, I was going to use my 4 wheelers, but both those batteries are dead. Guess I'll have to start digging in the couches and old coat pockets for the $180 to buy those.:nightmare:
I've attached the pics of the housing and the attached bearing/shaft.
Thanks again for the help. Y'all are awesome!
