guy53 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 No hammer just a little heat and the bearing slide in place. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherpat Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 yeah not sure if he dealers doing it or me. i would love to. so yeah ill let you know what i do. are you having the same trouble? My bottom rod bearing is bad. I figured while I was in there, I would do the main bearings, crank seals, etc. I thought I had a local shop lined up to do it, but now I can't get a hold of him. Southwest Montesa has (had?) all the parts that I need, but they need a measurement off the rod to know which one to provide. I'm really tempted to try splitting the bottom end myself, but haven't worked up the nerve yet! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
