Clutch Hub and Trans bearing and Seal....HELP

Energy One

So my clutch got real hard to pull and at the same time the gears just werent shifting smoothly.Eventually the bike was almost shifting as if it was an automatic...I have had the clutch hub nut back off enough times to know this was not the issue,however I felt it was in the vacinity...The clutch wouldnt adjust,so I started tearing the primary down.After draining the fluid and seperating cases i noticed pretty large hunks of metal,which looked like some sorta bearing cases ...I also noticed the basket to be just a little wobbly...Upon disassembly I seen the hub was torn up a bit ,and the seal behind that along with the bearing case was destroyed...This being the bearing that sits behind the inner primary cover , inbetween the clutch assembly and the trans.......My question is I am sure I need to remove primary cover completely,and after doing so to get access to the trans to remove this bearing...(In the manual under transmission page 7-2 it is part 35 that is damaged...they are calling it Bearing M/S left side...)
1. Am I able to get this bearing out and replaced without having to use a press?
2. Do I just order the HUB (part21,page6-2 in the clutch/primary section)
or will I need some bearing also????
3.If I did just go ahead at this time and order the BANDIT clutch,I am in need of this HUB anyway,arent I?....

So take a look at these pics and let me know,for those of you who have been here if I am calling this correctly........Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I was able to replace mine without a press .... just set the inner primary case up on wooden blocks and drove it out with a mallet :D

Put the bearing in the freezer while you heat the case with a heat gun If the bearing is cold and the case 100 deg C. it will go right in with a mallet

Well I got the time to go outside in the garage and do the rest of the teardown on the bike to remove the transmission....I found it a very easy job beings as though the transmission was only held on with 1 remaining bolt,The only thing holding my trans to the bike was basically the primary ......I just cant beleive there isnt any more damagee to my bike than this......Unfreaking beleivable....Now I have had a vibration from the day I picked this bike up....I am hoping I just found the cure!!!!!!!! I shoulda paid more attention to maintence thereof......

I'm pretty sure the hub and bearing inside the clutch basket come as an assembled part, so you may have to order a new clutch basket as well. Baker will be able to tell you for sure. I just ordered a new clutch basket and the bearing/hub came with it already assembled.

Wow that's a good one :D Yes you should use the correct tools to rebuild your transmission. Removing and installing the bearing with a press is one thing. But to get the gear assy back pressed into the bearings, you should use the Baker tools. I have them all. For your 6 spd and for the old 5 spd.
Ispect everything when apart. Make sure your shift forks and rod are good. Your clutch is sold in pieces or as a whole. Press old bearing out, press new in along with the new inner hub.
