And now for the manliest thing you can do with a kx500 crank bearing.

I got the linkage rebuilt. I purchased an all balls kit and it was crap needles falling out all over the place. I sent it back and went with the pivot works set and was much happier


I'm having a hard time with the right side swing arm needle bearings. I've wrecked 2 already using both the draw bolt and a vise. The inside is clean but just seems too tight. I've heated and frozen each time. I think I'm going to have to take a bit of metal out with the deemel. Any advice?

Weekend progress.  A hot plate and freezer are the only way to install bearings.  turned out to be an 8 beer job as I installed the shifter forks backwards a few times. 

JB Weld applied to the cases. 


Bearings in


Tranny in

Am I missing a collar on the output shaft?  Parts diagram calls for part#92143-1370 but I can't find it anywhere on the table. I'm ready to put the cases together and really don't want to do it twice. Thanks

I put a mic on it and it doesn't look like anything else will fit in there. Help!

The collar goes on after the cases are assembled.  That is where the sprocket is mounted.  There should be an O ring (92055), collar (92143), sprocket then circlip (92033)... in that order.   :-D  The part numbers are from www.bikebandit.com
