some bottom end questions
kwakman:
do you mean you tried to tap it out from the wrong side(inside of c.case)?K.
tschisi:
Yap, just hasted...
kwakman:
that must of stung....
kwakman:
its not insurmountable though.....there are pics in the Eric Gorr tuning book of seal areas that have been repaired by welding on race bikes, so its not uncommon.just find someone who knows their stuff.kxr member Roostius Maximus will probably know someone, if he can't do it himself...hth.K.
tschisi:
This bearing and seal removal has made me wondering about two things.
How to press the new bearings in without damaging them, the old ones sat really tight.
But i guess it should work with a big socket.
And how the bearings can be installed to the right place, as they sit on the inner end of the seat, while the seals sit on the outer side, with about 5mm of space in between.
Don?t understand how that distance can be kept when sliding the frozen bearing in or pulling the crank in?!
