I had to deal with the same on my pins when I bought it. I don't believe there are any tricks... Every day for several months I bet, I soaked the pins with penetrating oil, once and a while beating on the bottom to free it up. No progress... Much heat applied throughout this process, very little...

Just curious what bushings you replaced?

Same thing happens in my 7753. Usually when starting to back up slowly from a stop, the left side shudders or jerks a bit. I've gotten used to it, but it isn't right. It almost feels like slack being taken up in the drive chain or something.

As I was draining the last bit of chaincase oil, I had the front wheels of the ground, I wiggled the one with the questionable bearing, and... it turns out that it was just the Lug Nuts that were loose! I feel pretty dumb for not checking those first, but at the same time, Yee Haa! I love an...

I'm hoping its not a bearing "failure" at this point but more like worn race or something, as it has JUST begun making noice once and a while. Supposing I do the inner one as well, does that necessitate draining the chaincase or can I get away with leaving the fluid in? As I mentioned, I...

My right front wheel bearing (assumption) is starting to intermittently crick and creek. If I pull of the hub and seal will I be able to get the bearing out, or will if have to go in the chaincase to remove the axel nut/sprocket etc. to move the axel to get clearance to pull the outer bearing...
