tony cub Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 ARE WE TALKING ABOUT WATER PUMP GEAR? Quote
TJScott Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Posted February 5, 2009 ARE WE TALKING ABOUT WATER PUMP GEAR? uh, the small gear on the crank. Quote
tony cub Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 water pump gear slides off.the next gear has a key way and it should also slide right out Quote
TJScott Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Posted February 5, 2009 theres my problem, taking the gears off the old crank they both slid freely off, but on this one they are just stuck, i wonder if somethings in there... anyways, is there anywhere i can pry or something without damaging anything?

tony cub Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 i'd use a puller (like for cars) with the 2 arms.becareful not to damage any of the teeth on the gears Quote
TJScott Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Posted February 5, 2009 do you think it would be ok to just try and twist it loose? Quote
NitroTate Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 Do you mean the "drive" gear? The slant-cut drive gear on the clutch side toward the front? If so, put the clutch basket back on and jam a rag in where the teeth of the drive gears meet the teeth of the clutch basket and it will hold for you to take the nut off. It's a safe way to do it without damage. Quote
tony cub Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 the small gear should just come right out.the only thing holding it there is the nut.the bigger gear has a key way,so it only comes out one way.sometimes the key way jam and it becomes a pain in the ass. Quote
TJScott Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Posted February 5, 2009 yeah, thats what i thought it was called, i got the nut off, but the gear itself is stuck. Quote
NitroTate Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 Yeah I don't think I would put a puller on that... I would just work it carefully back and forth with a screwdriver or something because like someone else said, that key is probably just wedged. You won't be able to spin it off. Quote
TJScott Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Posted February 6, 2009 i got it! ok now for gearing, i put the top case and everything on like nitrotate's video said and shifted. now, i can get it into gears and stuff, but heres the thing. i sometimes shift, and nothing happens. but if i twist the shaft for a bit you can hear it grind just a tad and then pop into gear, then it will shift into the next gear. only sometimes though, and only after i put the gears in. is that normal?

I know I replied to your PM but figured I would reply here too. Yes that's fine, you have to remember these gears are made to be shifted when the motor is running and lubricated so when it's all dry and not moving it's difficult to shift through the gears without a little extra manipulation. Once you get it together and the oil in you'll see it shifts easier. Quote
TJScott Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Posted February 6, 2009 alright, heres a real quick one for you guys. the banshee case has a hole in the right side, does some sort of shaft go there or is it just like that all the time? im pretty sure there is one like that in the top case too...
