Inner Primary bearing change ?
I have a inner primary seal leaking and i thought i read somewhere through this vast website about a updated one piece bearing being installed for the inner race walking on the shaft. my question is, what years and models does that apply to ? would my 07 FB need a updated bearing or is it just a seal gone bad ?
TIA..
TIA..

1. replace bearing race & bearing with HD oem set.
2. replace bearing with HD oem & replace race with non-walking S&S race.
3. replace separate bearing & race with one-piece sealed bearing/race upgrade from All ***** or Baker.
Option #2 is my personal favorite. I can't speak from experience but have read that there have been issues with the one piece sealed bearings; hit/miss solution from what I hear and read.
It is very easy to nick the inner primary bearing seal when installing; the splines on the mainshaft have very sharp edges. The inner primary bearing puller shaft comes with a plastic netting to protect the threads, I slip that over the mainshaft to protect the seal when installing the innner primary case; duct tape works as well.

does my 07 have the style bearing where the inner race is seperate ? looking at the parts fiche it looks to have the inner race as part of the bearing assy..
what is the "quad seal" ? i read where guys were removing the inner seal portion of the sealed bearing to allow the oil to run back out of the bearing and to keep it lubricated..
oh, i know for sure its the primary leaking. i put dye in the trans oil and the oil leaking doesn't have dye in it. luckily its not a bad leak.. just enough to mark its territory after a run..

one more question.. sorry guys..
to use the bearing and seal above, do i remove the inner race # 14 in this pic. or is that for the shell needle bearing #4
http://partsfinder.onlinemicrofiche....N-CASE-HOUSING
I do have the service manual, but sometimes its easier to look at a parts layout in determing component assembly and parts order. i wished they showed the trans shaft with the primary case also. i'm sure once i get it apart i'll see what you all are describing.. and say ... "I see said the blind man"
