ya i ended up calling kevin at hjr and got it figured out

i got a oil seal kit ,but there is no green stripe on the left crank seal im trying to figure out which way it go's on you got one side with a wide open cavity then one side that is more closed up with a fatter face im thinking the open cavity thats smooth go's on the outside

im no banshee expert but it does sound like a main bearing going south or crank is bad

true but i did get the cases apart ,decided to give the threaded rod pusher another go put it in a different spot and turned it a few more times then i did before ,hoping nothing would break ,but they opened right up .then did the other side and bam there it was can finally drop the crank in and cub

ya shits getting old ,been trying to tear them apart for three days ,took a hour and a half to pull everything out of the case ,first shee motor ive taken apart but of course everything cant be smooth ..ha ive tried everything guys ,the threaded rod idea ,clamped the bottom case to work bench then hit up on the top case ,tried hitting the bottom studs on the bottom case it doesnt look like any retainer was used around the bearings ,just looks like the owner before me ,used way too much yamabond or threebond ,i did find alot of water in the bottom case ,im thinking the cases are rusted shut like a mutha trucker . i dont have a propane torch either ,im a 250r owner and ive done alot of them and i thought they were a pain in the ass ,ive always heard banshee cases were super easy ,nope not this one

alright a little update ,went outside today too clean up the clutch cover,check waterpump and clean up some parts decided to try to get the cases apart ,no luck again ,i hit the bottom case bolts .then hit the top case then bottom case ,the sealent used on the motor looks like yamabond is there a certain point i should hit the cases ,probably going to try the pusher idea with the threaded rod tomorrow i would love to post pics when the motor is done ,but i got to get the cases split so i can drop the crank in

the only two things i left on the cases was the nuetral switch cover ,and the plate above the bearing retainer strap that is screwed into the top case behind the clutch basket,i will post pics of both sides and top and bottom

yes the bearing retainer is off that was first thing that came to my mind when splitting the cases the whole threaded rod idea i get ,sounds like something i might have to do i just now the banshee cases are pretty weak around the sprocket area ,i dont want to crack the top or bottom case putting pressure on it with the threaded rod idea ,but i might have to do it thanks guys

hello everyone ,first post since on site got a question i got a shee motor on my workbench ,i got everything off ,and every bolt off seems like i would get the banshee motor that wont split ,i hammered on it with a rubber mallet and dead blow for about 30 mins ,and it wont budge,im not a small dude either ,but i dont want to break stuff either ha i went over the cases to make sure i got every bolt out like three times.looked at the manuel a bunch to make sure im doing it right and im not taking a screwriver to the cases at all if anyone could help me i would appreciate it .thanks
