I've had a double row bearing in the DD since the first year I had this 09 HCR. I put in another double row before the 2015 season just to be safe. I don't get to do much riding so there hasn't been many miles put on the sled since. But early this season heard a bad grinding noise for a couple of seconds. Sled still rode, so thought it was something stupid. A few weeks later heard it again. I was far from the trucks so had no choice to ride, but never heard it again. Last night decided to check the DD. Yep, the double row bearing went. Can't believe it still worked.
Each of the 5 little gears in that 5-gear pinion have a tooth partially gone. The outer ring gear cracked. I think I can get away with the 5-gear pinion as it is and replace the splined assembly and the gear ring.
