Ok guys. Got my new parts in, huge thanks to jungle joe. Got everything ready and lined up. My comp assembly was definitely worn more and my spring pack weaker. It doesn't move when I shake it and it has less play with the sliding cam when lined up on the shaft.
The clutch however is just as wobbly when rocking it when apart with no plates. I think the bearing is shot even though it was working fine as it has the same exact side to side play as in the video. I thought I had the wrong basket in my hand. So I guess I'll replace the bearing and see how it goes.
Might as well since it's apart already. Once it goes back together it's not coming apart again everything will have been replaced at that point.

That's what I'm thinking. I hope to get it pressed apart and back together sometime today then I'll ship my other hub and loctite to Pinetop and with any luck he and I will both be riding the rest of the season with no issues!

I don't know about a bearing being spun, doubt that on that hub if that's what you're saying...not saying it's not possible, but that's only got 16k on all that. Starting to wonder if maybe the output shaft some how got bent on your bike? You check that yet KP?

Well spun it was! It moved the same as the old one before I took it apart but I wasn't expecting what I got when I started taking it apart .
I pressed the inner hub and and as soon as I removed the inner retaining ring I could soon the outer race with my fingers! It was that loose. I pushed it out completely with my fingers. Here's a video showing how loose it is and a few pictures.
I peened it as recommended and loctited it. It did press in with the press so that's a good sign it was snug enough that it required force and it's tight now no damn wobbles! I did peel the seals out of the new bearing too as recommended. I guess I have to wait 24 hours now for the loctite to cure which is torture at this point.
Joe thanks again you bailed me out. Pinetop your clutch is on the way but make sure you peen and loctite it because it's going to be sloppy like this one. I bet this is a common issue. Crossing my fingers this was my "evo shake"!

Package says 24 hours. I'm torn on assembly tonight and let it sit until 24 hours up or letting it cure apart 24 hours assemble tomorrow. Not sure what's right or if it matters.
The clutch assembly rocks on the shaft now a little but I assume once I'm able to torque the nut it won't. There's no play in the clutch assembly. It's on the workbench curing now. I just slid it on there to put the clutch plates and bolts back on

I have penned and used lock tite on a few bearings in my day. On a serious situation I let them cure. Just cause I didn't want to second guess the outcome.
LOL I went back and read the whole thread here yesterday evening, yea I was kinda bored. In a conversation today with a HD tech I befriended some time back, we were talking about trying different things when I was chasing my vibration. Ya know what ya got me second guessing weather my damn compensator might be weak. Would like what shake (your term) I have left a little smoother. We both got to laughing about it----- I told him to order one Tuesday Dammit.
Good grief LMAO WP

Kp I'm hoping your vibration is cured , but either way this was an issue that needed attention.
Glad you got swapped out without issue good luck man I have my fingers crossed for you.
