primary chain and clutch basket rubbing inner primary after inner bearing change
« on: February 26, 2016, 06:15:02 PM »
Has anyone installed one of the baker inner primary bearings?  After i installed it with the snap rings when i installed my clutch hub it was just barely touching my starter gear and the chain was rubbing on the inner primary.  I am guessing the only way to fix this is put a spacer on the mainshaft to push the clutch basket back out where it should be. There is about 1/4 in of room on the shaft between the bearing and the splines on the shaft start.  This was on a 06 seuc.

I've put in several of those Baker bearings.  Eight or ten.  Never had the problem you're describing.  Not even close.

I am not sure if it has anything to do with that bearing or not.  But i am assuming that is what the inside of the clutch hub sits up against.  I looked at my pics of my original race and it was sitting at the end of the mainshaft, but it was cracked and probably moved all over.  Unless the clutch hub has something else for a stop on the back there i don't know about.

Thing is that it never rubbed before.  Had it off a few times and everything was fine.  Only thing i changed was i pulled off the mainshaft race.  So now i am curious if the clutch hub actually pushes up against that race to stop it or if its stop in just the end of the splines.  The only other reason i could come up with is that the inner primary is pushed out a bit but its flush all the way around.  kinda stumped.

well i think i may have figured out the problem.  Thought that maybe just the inner primary wasn't on  all the way and thats what was stopping the clutch hub.  Then i inspected the inside of the clutch hub splines and the first 3/8" of the splines by the inner primary bearing are broke off.  So i am assuming that the splines are what the hub presses up against and thats why it is pushing to far into the inner primary.  So hopefully if i replace the clutch hub that it won't be rubbing.
