old roost Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 hey guys, what is the easiest way to remove the main gear from the crank? i have the water impeler gera off but the main gear does not want to come off, I need to get it off to replace the right side crank bearing Is it safe to use a 3 jaw gear puller on this?

locogato11283 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 wait, what?? puller for the main gear? which gear are you talking about? you dont need a puller for anything on the clutch side of the motor. the gear on the clutch side of the crank has a nut holding it on. did you take it off? also, is the crank still in the bike? do you intend on trying to install a new crank bearing with the crank still in the bike?

I obviously have to get that off to replace the outer bearings and the oil seals. any ideas??? I did not want to try to force it with out checking with you all first, i know some one on here has run into this before Quote
locogato11283 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 should slide right off. try tapping it a little. Quote
No Limit Powersports Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 Ive had some of them get stuck myself usually just stick the bearing seperator on it and pull it off. Quote

old roost Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Posted August 3, 2009 great i will try that thanks guys Ok got the main gear off, thanks for the advice, i wasnt sure if i should tap on it or not being i have never worked on a banshee before. Now that i have the gear off i cant get the right side bearing off. i t should just slide off correct???? It spins very freely if you give it a flick of your finger it will spin at least 10-15 times all the way around.but it does sound slightly noisy so i think i should replace it in stead of lubing it up.
