2001Stroker Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 What the fuck?! Do you want us to help you fix your Banshee, or are you gonna keep arguing with him? Quit sweatin it. Now go to your Banshee, check the breather hoses, and the water impeller shaft and seal. Then, holler back. And while you're in the garage, drink a beer. Quote
Ieat4strokes Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Posted March 4, 2009 ur right stroker...... im done with it. im at work at the moment.....ill check the breather hoses in the morning when i get off, im checking to make sure there both connected and no cracks or leaks in hoses right?.... also i can snatch clutch cover off will i have to have a new gasket? or if i take my time can it be reused or what? and the seal on impeller how will i know if its bad? torn? worn out looking?

2001Stroker Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Drain the coolant system. Just pop off the lower radiator hose, where it goes into the clutch cover. Take the 3 phillips head screws out of the plastic water pump cover, that's bolted to the clutch cover. Then take the 5 phillips head screws out of the other impeller cover. You're probably gonna need an impact driver. Try to save this gasket. If it rips, get a new one. Tip the bike up on it's side, at about a 45* angle. Take the clutch cover off. You can re-use that gasket. From the back side of the cover, use a flathead screwdriver to take off the e-clip that's holding on the white plastic gear. Take off the washer, then pull off the gear. Pull the impeller out from the front side. Check the shaft on it. If it has a groove in it, then replace it. You might as well go ahead and replace the seal while you're in there. So, I wouldn't even worry about inspecting it. Just replace it. Quote
Ieat4strokes Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) thanks for the help man.....Ill get on it in the morning. edit : yea i need to cop a impact driver....them phillips are almost impossible to get off without stripping them. Edited March 4, 2009 by Ieat4strokes Quote
swrbansheeboy Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 yes, an impact driver is very important when removing most philips head screws on the shee... also, the "heat the bearing, freeze the case" thing is wrong... heat makes things expand, cold makes things contract. if your trying to do this trick to install the new impeller bearing you would need to freeze the bearing and heat up the clutch cover. i personaly have never had to freeze/heat anything to do this, just tap out the old bearing and tap the new one in. the trick is tapping in the new seal, just make sure it's squared up when you drive it in...

Ieat4strokes Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Posted March 4, 2009 thanks alot for the tips..... just use a socket big enough to seat on the outer race right? Quote
dajogejr Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 You can also put a check valve cap on your breather hoses. they'll allow fluid or air to escape, but not enter the cases. Kinda like the one in a stock gas cap.... Though I really doubt that's the issue....I agree on the water pump seal. While you're at it, remove the water pump and check the fins/blades on it. The plastic ones are known to wear and start breaking/chipping apart. If you show any signs of this, pickup a billet impeller. Quote
