Clutch support bearing failure

[351Blueblood]

Hey guys. New here and looking for some info from a 1989. The bearing right behind clutch(in the cases) broke its cage and dumped out 5 of the ball bearings. I have not seen this at all on this site. Found a pic where it looks like this bearing is "keyed" into the cases. That means splitting cases correct? Thanks for any info.

I found this in a transmission post. Thanks

Actually, someone had posted about the same problem somewhat recently. Not a common one though.

Yes, you need to remove the bottom half of the motor. Should be able to keep the heads on.
