WantABanshee Posted November 20, 2009 Report Posted November 20, 2009 Crank had a froze bearing on it. Had a machine shop pop off the old bearing and press on the new bearings. Looking over the crank I saw that one rod has ALOT more slop then the other rod. Looked at where the crank presses together so a person could replace the needle bearings and it is not pressed together all the way. How could I press it together more? Think it twisted when the bearing froze? Thanks guys. Alittle disappointed Quote
locogato11283 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Posted November 20, 2009 stock crank im assuming? itll be cheaper and easier to scrap the whole thing and buy a new or used one. im sure someone here has a used one. PM "NYUK". hes prolly got 10 of them laying around. Quote
WantABanshee Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Posted November 21, 2009 ive thought about the option as well but assuming the crank is good and just needs pressed back?? I'm a noob on the 2-stroke crank Quote
AKheathen Posted November 21, 2009 Report Posted November 21, 2009 what you have is a webbing separation, and it most llikely will not hold again, due to the twisting/rocking motion in the bore. Quote
WantABanshee Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Posted November 21, 2009 ^^ how sure are you? If your sure then I need to get a new crank asap Quote
AKheathen Posted November 21, 2009 Report Posted November 21, 2009 if that pin has mooved at all, that part of the crank is done, due to the fact that it has released due to side play. i have a stock crank, that has moved a 1/16" and it is going in the trash as soon as i pull the rods. however, i believe it was the flywheel side that is bad, and the pto side is still good/useable. pm me if you are interested in it.
