89 gas marathon transaxle bearings
I'm currently trying to breathe life into a very tired and wore out 89 marathon which has turned into a full out restoration. I'm noticing the input shaft on the transaxle has some wiggle to it which I'm sure will only get worse with time. I have the service manual for the axle and have many years of building 2 and 4 stroke dirtbike engines for my son, I'm comfortable with tearing into this thing but thought it wouldn't hurt to see if anyone had any additional advice that might be helpful. I do have a spare axle that has stripped gears that I may do an exploratory tear down on first.

Re: 89 gas marathon transaxle bearings
For those who don't have an internal bearing puller for pulling bearings from a blind hole on an 89 Ezgo gasser I discovered that a 1/2" drop in concrete wedge anchor, piece of threaded rod with nut and washer works like a charm. Now that I did an exploratory tear down on my spare junker it's time to tear my good one down and replace all the bearings.

Re: 89 gas marathon transaxle bearings
Bearings are changed and axle is ready to install, I think I worried more than I should have, wasn't bad at all. This was the last rebuild item on the list so now onto body work and making this girl pretty.
