I removed the driveshaft and cleaned it up a bit before greasing the u-joint fittings which seemed to be tight. The zerk fitting for the internal splines is broken off so I removed the retainer cap and applied some bearing grease directly and reassembled. The shaft that touches the seal is a little cruddy so I may take it back apart to polish the shaft and replace the zerk. I'll wait until I can find a new seal and retainer.

I inspected and greased the sprocket bracket. Bearings, bolts, and pivot pin are fine and the aluminum hasn't corroded or seized to anything. I do have a question about the sprocket contacting the bracket. There is a thrust washer only on the right side of the sprocket and I wonder if another on the left side would prevent the bracket from wearing.

What does the crowd say about another washer?

Any trick to adjusting the two chain tension bolts? I assume the sprocket will ride to one side if the bolts are adjusted unevenly.
