Replacing six-speed main shaft bearing

[hogrdr]

I have an '06 screaming eagle 6-speed transmission with bad main shaft bearing. Am I able to remove and replace that bearing without pulling out the gear set or pulling trap door?

If you're talking about the bearing the main drive gear rides in. #8996A? No- pull the pipes, primary, inner bearing race, & trans gearset, the you can remove the MDG, and then , finally, R&R the MDG bearing.

I've done it twice on two different 07's following the SM procedure which calls for pulling the gear set so unless someone has developed a secret tool......

It's not hard, assuming basic knowledge, a SM & common sense - well, except for that pesky inner race (deep score with Dremel & split with chisel).

Get dirty!

That's what I was kind of thinking. Thanks for helping me out
