Can you explain why you opted to use the bars instead resting the tool on the inner race? Just thinking about it, it seems like the bearing is being subjected to a lot of axial force that will most likely damage or at the very least reduce service life.
@joshmx285 жыл бұрын
I was thinking the same thing. Also the flex you are putting on the case half isn't ideal. I would say push right against that inner race unless it's just absolutely is not an option.
@Mark-vx5dt5 жыл бұрын
@@joshmx28 +1 - definitely pull against the inner race. Then there is zero load on the bearings, no risk of damaging a brand new bearing before you even close up the case!
@alexguiver8152 жыл бұрын
Yes I agree. Possibly you could smash up one of the old main bearings to get the inner race out, put that on top of the new main bearing so it's proud of the case, then use the puller on that so the force is only being transmitted through the inner race of the new main bearing. Ball bearing races don't like side loadings, it reduces their service life as you say

Building up to using this tool for the first time and even with the collar removed, it's 1mm too big in diameter to fit through the crank seal aperture on my Yamaha DT125R cases which means it can't push on the inner race of the main bearing to avoid transmitting a side load through the ballrace.

I think I have the same problem. Trying to set both cases in together. Crank is already pulled in one case. Trying to pull the crank thru the other side of the crank( the one with ridges at the end of the crank shaft). The hex bushing keeps coming right off since there’s nothing keeping it tension. On the other side it had the female adapter to make it easy
