bearing failure

[alyce001]

Just changed the secondary side bearing on the drive shaft on my 02 mountain cat, all went fairly well until I tried to pull the old speedometer key from the front of the drive shaft, it is broken off and no way is it coming out, now what? It is broken off just inside, not sticking out at all, thanks

I had the same thing happen on my 03, Just got rid of the speedo cable completely instead of worrying about replacing the drive shaft. Not a huge deal unless you plan on selling

Kind of what I thought, would be nice to have a speedometer though

it will come out with a pick spray some brake clean on it and pick it out

Yup....been there, had to do that. A little heat on the outside shaft might help too.
