With the sprocket finally off (20 days after my first attempt) I was able to remove the cover of the left side final drive. I didn't have nearly as much butterscotch pudding in it as the right side. I pulled the bull gear out and examined all of the bearings. They all look like they need replacing. Not terrible, but pretty sloppy.
As I was scraping out the left-over grease I felt something at the bottom of the final drive case. Ugh, sizable metal chunks. I walked over to the bull gear and gave it a closer look - 70, 71, ahh - 72 where did you go? The bull gear is supposed to have 72 teeth. Those metal chunks were indeed a tooth. . .crap.
