clutch lever bearing

<< < (2/2)

Fookeneh:
I don't have alot of experience with J-B but it sound s  as though it worked for you. Depending on how thick that casting is a guy might be able to thread a plug in there with lok -tite . I like your idea, it sounds simple. 8)

kawdude:
I thought about the plug also but thought that the bottom of the shaft may contact it.  I don't remember how thick the casting is but it not very thick 3-4mm at the most.

My fix is rough but simple.  Someone may make a puller but I could not find one that was small enough or long enough.  Seems like I found one that was small enough but was no where near long enough to reach the bottom bearing.

kawdude:
Could try freezing the engine.  That may contract the bearings enough to pull out.

Fookeneh:
Thanks for the info. I am going to extend the lever 8mm to ease clutch action and at the same time I will try brazing and filing the worn part of the shaft. I will pull the motor when the season is done and go through it all properly. Hopefull I can get it tight enough to keep the seal doing it' s  job.

kawdude:
I think 8mm is too much.  I think I've heard 4-5mm max.  Do a search on this site.  There was a discussion about it.
