some bottom end questions

<< < (6/14) > >>

kwakman:
pressing the cases together is a new one on me.you have several things to line up and lots of stuff to damage using a press if things aren't lined up correctly.as far as im aware, you can draw the crank into the  left side case using tusk tool after using the heat method on right case, but you may as well save ?60 and use heat on both sides and a plastic or other soft faced mallet to help get the shafts into line.as for ebay, get the item number from ebay u.s. and enter it into search bar on your local fleabay.jobs a fish. whereabouts are you based?

tschisi:
I?m in austria, but i can?t find it on eb*y us either?!
Are there any other tools?
I can?t imagine everyone who is splitting cases owns the tusk tool...

tschisi:
I was offered a tool like this:



Am i right to think that:

- This tool is ok but i need one more Adapter (should be just a screw) to insert it into the right crank half?
Like the two black screws in this:

- and because of that i don?t need a clip like this:
http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/productDetail.do?navType=type&webTypeId=117&navTitle=Tools%2FShop&webCatId=22&prodFamilyId=30873
because the k5 has a primary gear with a thread, not a clip?

- and that i need some special tool to loosen the primary drive?

Please help, i?d like to offer the tool soon.

Question 2:
I could get a connecting rod set from HotRods Inc.
Are they ok?

snoopjonnyjon:
I used a Kawasaki crank jig and hydraulic press. They aren't terribly expensive. I can't remember how much it was, but it wasn't prohibitive.

tschisi:
How does the jig work?
Is it just a distance to prevent the crank from bending?
That brings me to the idea to build a distance an use a simple press too  :mrgreen:
