Well that’s interesting. I’ve never had any issues with mine but I’ve also never heard of contaminating the clutch. I’ll keep in it mind next time I’m working on mine

Yeah, If you don’t degrease the inner bearing it will go through the entire clutch and cause slipping, glazing and require you to go back in and clean it out.

I gotta try this. I devour clutch bearings. Bought the fancy TKO bearing 10 packs. No better. Tried taking Avid Bearing's advice to blow out the grease with an air compressor for 5 seconds on both sides of both bearings before installing a set of metal shielded bearings (from ProTek I think?), and they still failed within 40 min of running at the track. Just bought the fancy Avid bearing 10 packs and installed a pair, about to run them tonight. It’s without a doubt the most frequent thing that breaks on my buggy, by a country mile. And as if a 25+ minute repair wasn’t bad enough, sometimes it’ll ruin the $30 center diff gear on its way out.

@@klinikrc3823 Excellent, thanks for the help. Also, edited my post as I got mixed up -- I haven't run the Avid's yet, but I installed some 2 days ago and will be running them tonight. I used the air compressor on both Avid bearings before installing them per the instruction on the Avid website's clutch bearing page, but perhaps I should remove the engine to clean that inner clutch bell bearing with some contact cleaner beforehand if the air compressor isn't enough.

If you dont mind me asking, how much fuel do you think you get through a set of clutch bearings? I am roughly 1/4 to 1/2 gallon maybeee...

I’m confident up to a gallon then I change. Unless just practice and I will run for longer.
