I'm guessing this might be user error vs tekno failure, but I can't see how this bearing would have been pushed out along w/ the outdrive. Rear didn't seem to be slipping, but I could sometimes hear that ugly slipping gears noise. Took off the body and this is what I saw:
The set screw seemed tight but I suppose things might have slipped? Looking at the pic, I'm thinking the sound that I thought was slipping gears was actually the outdrive eating into the receiver box and screw. So did I botch something here or did parts just slip? I used loctite and can't imagine turning that set screw any harder than I did w/o breaking the driver or stripping the screw.
[edit/update] Nope - gearbox case and bearing failure. Ring gear has minor nicks but seems reusable. Pinion is chewed up. Rear diff is fine, but center diff failed. These things failed together in mine just as seen here: https://www.teknoforums.com/threads...t-a-inner-bearing-in-diff-case.421/#post-4978 [/edit]
