toomuchhorrorbusiness Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 I bought a Blaster for $200 for my g/f. So it seems the pushrods and bearing welded themselves together, and the side of the pushrod that comes in contact with the push lever assembly has mushroomed and I can't slide it out. I have the motor out and I'm trying to get away with not splitting the case so she can be riding this thing by the weekend. I've tried a dremel to grind the mushroom off but it's in there about 3.5" deep and I can't find any attachment that will get in there that deep. My next plan of action is a series of rill bits. Anyone have any tricks for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toomuchhorrorbusiness Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Nah man. I have faith I can get this thing out in 5 minutes with the right tool. I'm just looking for some advice from someone who has done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 That pushrod is probably hardened and when you use a drill bit on it you are going to end up with a bunch of broken pieces in the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 yea, this is not good. chances are that thing is not going to come out of there without damaging the clutch shaft itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomuchhorrorbusiness Posted May 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I've got the mushroom ground off, I just need a tiny and powerful magnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVAGE420 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I've got the mushroom ground off, I just need a tiny and powerful magnet. Flip the bike on its side and prop it up (clutch facing up of course). Grab a small strong magnet and some fishing line. Tie the magnet on to the line and go fishing.
