Correct, no need to take out s/a as when drive shaft is out you can replce then, not easy mind very fiddly

Hi all, thanks for your help, parts arrived from Sherlocks, spot on service, s/h drive shaft was as new. and I bought a new gaiter for the gearbox end, what a job!!!! previous posts "fiddly" !!!! what! much easier to remove s/a by far, then engage new prop, then slide assembly on, (well that what I have worked out. I have decided to replace the s/a bearings, my only question is, how much pre[/B]-load do you put on the left hand grub scree type pivot bolt,(the one with the lock nut)? can't wait to get the thing back on the road, as I am sure that the failed prop was a ticking bomb, and the tranny will feel better.
At the end of the day, I ve read some right old tosh about beemer failures, you've just got to be realistic, big jap super bike, what would a chain and spock set cost? 140-150? harley toothed belts 180, that's without buying the pulleys!!!! yep it's a keeper!

If you need the slotted socket/Allen key tool for tightening the left hand bearing, they are available from Laser tools or you could make your own. If you do a search there's a post about the tool somewhere.
 
Thanks gents, hopefully our bearing supplier at work can match the FAG bearings to save a few bob! so yes I will be making the tool as well :-)
 
Is it worth all the effort, I paid about a tenner for the proper tool?
