crank removal
« on: March 12, 2010, 12:10:20 AM »
just split cases and left side bearing stayed in cases. the problem i have now is how do i get the crank out without a removal tool? i was thinking of heating (carefully) the outside of the right hand case around where the bearing is to expand it and try to pull it out then.any ideas? thanks,K.

And lo, I did loft the front wheel and carried it forth to the unbelievers, and cast it down before them and said unto them ''look now upon the might of my throttle control ye pitiful cretinous ones''
And the unbelievers did quake in their boots....

You can press it out or tap it out with a brass or lead hammer. I usually try the hammer first then go to the press, be carefully because a couple of the gears will fall off the shafts when you flip it over.also did you take the gear off the right end of the crank. CBX

got it out using above method, even the bearings weren't that hard to get out.time for a good clean inside and when the crank comes back i can start throwing it back together.

Use the same sealer that you are going to use on the case halves.
