Sheeboy12 Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 This is concerning the condition of my crank from where the left lower con rod bearing flew apart . I'm pretty good at doing my own stuff. I've been told to let the pro's handle spliting the case, b/c of springs and gears goin all over the place. So... any tips. MY plan is to remove the side covers and just pull all of the bolts and split her' open. I'm sure there's more to it, but i've never done it before. So here i am. Quote
reas11 Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 (edited) its not that hard.. if u forget where shit goes label it .. its so easy to make a label between the labels and the clymers u should not have a problem .. just make sure u put the shift rod back in before u put the cases back together .. seen it happen before .

banshee04le Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 Its pretty easy. Remove the side covers like you said. Remove the clutch assy. Remove the stator and timing plate. Pull the head and cylinders off. 16 case bolts later and shes ready to split. Pull the top case half off after you remove the pistons from the rods and there will not be any springs or gears flying anywhere. The 2 gear packs lift right out as an assembly. A flywheel puller is the only special tool you should need. I may have forgotten a minor detail or 2 but nothing tricky. You'll see when you get in there. Make sure you have a clymers manual and you'll be ok. Quote
banshee04le Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 Oh yeah, if its not too late, its better to remove the clutch basket and flywheel while the engine is still bolted in the frame...makes it much easier than fighting it on the bench trying to hold the engine down while you crank on that shit.

akpopeye Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 like he said, some guys i think take the head and cylinders off before they take the motor out, very good idea, clean up the motor before you start...i usually skip that part of most instructions, but it helps a lot in this case Quote
2Smoker Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 I would do it yourself it's not that hard my friend's shee has been split once and I watched him do it. He has to split it again now too. Practice makes perfect. You might as well learn how to do it yourself. Quote
