Yamaha YTM 200E rear axle bearings ?

[CHRIZZ]

I have a 1984 Yamaha YTM E (shaft drive) The axle bearing is real bad on the passenger side. on the drivers side it feels tighter. The Manual that I have for this machine says to take it to a Yamaha Dealer because I would I would mess it up. (its not going to the dealer) I have looked everywhere for the procedure to change the bearings with no luck. can anyone provide a link or tell me the correct procedure to change the bearings? Also should I change the bearings and seals on the shaft drive unit as long as it is torn that far apart? It has been taken apart down to the removing the axle part. so the axle hasn't been taken out yet. Thanks Chris

Don't take to dealer no one there knows anything about these machines only the new stuff. It's easy I did it my self in an hour. Take hubs off take axle nuts off shaft out might need a tap or two. Then tap out bearing

I was worried the ring gear would drop out of place or something bad like that. It all went real easy.
thanks again chris
