the bearing in the chain drive side for the axle is destroyed. It looks like there are two bearings next to eachother? there is only a snap ring still in place holding the bearings in, not a a removable bearing housing with three bolts. With such little room what is the process for removing the old bearings? THANKS

Remove the entire chaincase so you can use a punch from the outside (tunnel area) to drive it out after you have removed the snap ring.
