Do not use excessive force to remove
the bearing race as damage to the
CVT may occur. A magnet can be
used to lift this bearing if needed.

bearing might remain on the shaft
when removing the input shaft and
dummy cover.

Inspect type “A” bearing (roller
bearing) as follows:
a. Inspect the bearing outer race and
input shaft for flaking or pitting.
b. Install the bearing outer race onto
the input shaft assembly with the
“bearing number” facing the gear,
and then rotate the bearing while
applying an axial load by hand to
check for any abnormality.

Input shaft

DO NOT drop the outer race of the bearing to avoid damage and/or contamination.


Were any abnormalities found or felt in the bearing (sound, flat spots, flaking)?
o NO: Put bearing and shaft aside, and then skip to step 58 on page 45.
o YES:
a. Document the abnormalities found with a video and then contact the PCC
for authorization to replace the CVT. See page 153 for PCC contact
information.
b. Refer to steps 201-205 on page 109 when replacing the CVT.
c. After CVT replacement, perform ADDITIONAL SERVICE WHEN
REPLACING CONTROL VALVE OR TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY on page
110.
d. Loosely reassemble the original CVT in the reverse order of disassembly
with the original parts.
