Cleaner picture of the rear output bearing. I could not get in any further to clean. The bearing feels very smooth with no resistance or grumbles that I can feel through the shaft. There is no slop in either side to side or forward to back directions.
I still have the intermediate gear in place so the output shaft is connected through to the gearbox. When I get that undone and the shaft is just spinning on its own bearings without any other drag it may sound or feel a little different.
