I own a 1997 Kawasaki 1100STX. In the process of removing the pump to access the steering cable I noticed that one of the bearings was completely destroyed. Some of the balls were sheared in half and falling out. There is no telling how long it has been like that. Luckily, there is another bearing at the end of the driveline that kept it properly aligned. Realistically, I could put it back together as-is and it will still work. BUT, I want to replace that busted bearing, for obvious reasons.
With that being said, here is my problem. The remaining parts of the busted bearing (the inner and outer rings) are stuck to the inside of the vane-guide, and to the jetpump shaft behind the impeller. Any tricks to get these things off so that I can put a new bearing in there? I think I have to remove the jetpump shaft from the impeller, but I do not know how. And the outer bearing ring is really jammed in the vane guide.
I am also looking for a service manual for a 97 Kawasaki 1100stx, but cannot seem to find one. Is there a major difference between the 1100stx and the D.I model? Thank you in advance for ANY help.
