cleanorbust Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 While you've got the cases apart it would make sense to replace the main bearings. These and the seals are available from Inmotion, www.inmotiontrials.com. Good luck with removing the gear pinion from the crankshaft!

woody Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Take care when you split the cases as the gears run on individual needle rollers. There are three sets, three in each, and each set are a different length but same diameter. If the gears and shafts spill out when you split the cases you'll have fun working out which needle rollers belong to which gear because it's not obvious and they will each fit on any shaft but the gears won't slide if they are in the wrong one. I think one of the manuals - clymer? - may give the correct lengths, but better to keep the box intact in the ignition half case when you split them. Also, the crankcase screws have O rings on them as they don't screw into blind holes like most but go straight through with a nut on the end. You may have to source new ones if they are too crushed to re-use (just in case you think someone may have fitted them for an odd reason and throw them away as they don't belong) Also watch out for shims on gear shafts and there are shims either side of the main bearings so note where they are fitted and how many either side. Get the big end properly checked as well as no point putting it back in if it's showing any wear - you only want to split a Montesa engine once... Remember all the threads are 7mm so don't lose any countersunk screws.. Crank sprocket is on a taper, so a bitch to remove - as can be the final drive sprocket, also tapered 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanorbust Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Unfortunately trying to remove the gear from the crankshaft can turn into the kind of challenge that leaves a competent mechanic in need of therapy, a mere quivering shell of his former self. All manner of heating, pulling and battering has been known to be used to crack the problem of the gear tightening itself onto the shaft over a 40 year period. On the other hand you may be lucky...
