So a few weeks ago my drive axle bearing let go chain case side. No big deal. I bought 5 new bearings for the beast and had it back together and kicking a$$ in no time. What I forgot do do was loctite one of the two bolts that hold the bearing retainer behind my secondary on the jackshaft. Well you can guess what happened next. 220 km ride and 35 km from the truck my secondary started to vibrate. I stopped and found the loose bolt... Snugged everything up (with loctite) and tried limp it back to the truck. I made it about 100ft before my secondary decided it wanted to leave it's mate (jackshaft) and have an affair with you guessed it! My primary. f#%$. My clutches are both dinged up a bit. I work in a very high tech custom fabrication and machine shop and I have the tooling behind me to get these puppies right back to beautiful. There Aren't any cracks anywhere that I have found (yet) so I'm thinking I'll just clean everything up , touch up the dings and dents with weld, machine and file surfaces back to original and then I'll send them out for precision balancing. Someone tell me if this is a bad idea. There is a few weeks left In the season and I can't spend anymore $$ on this sled. It serves me right to have to buy new clutches but... But...I really don't want to lol any Input is much obliged . Thanks.
