The output shaft bearing
  • The output shaft bearing is unusual, as it has no inner race.

  • When assembled, the bearing is self-aligning. Don't be overly concerned if the sleeve gear seems wobbly when fitted to the bearing. This movement will go away when the mainshaft is fitted.

  • Finding a replacement can be tricky, as the cheaper variant has an ID of 31.5mm - which doesn't fit. There are also variants with 9mm rollers which don't fit. You need SKF RNU205 Single Row Cylindrical Roller Bearing 32x52x15mm with 6mm rollers.

  • The correct bearing is available from the AJS Matchless Owners Club spares scheme.
