Outboard crankshaft bearing removal (Yamaha E40X)

[@adzythepwcblokeinaustralia5467]

I have repaired 3 cylinder Yamaha PWC crankshafts and you can do it easier by only pressing the top half of the web off ! Then you can press out the main crank pin . The bearing journal will be extremely tight , it will require cutting as its being replaced anyway . Mark the pin and web for 180 degree crank alignment before pressing it apart .

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks for the tip! That definitely sounds like a better way to go. I've never done one of these before and I'm enjoying learning from those who have!

[@rexmyers991]

Well, I wasn’t sure if I was watching a pro - then I see you weld bare footed. The mark of a true Pro.

Lay a chunk of 'V' channel over each cut, drill 4 holes and bolt them in place. Accurate and firm, you'll still be able to change the 'V' inserts to provide any spread needed...

[@DangarMarine]

Nice upgrade!

[@iqoverlord]

I have a 20 Ton press myself... I spent $100 on extra pieces of plate steel... It makes it easier when having to use press on odd shaped parts. I would support that crank shaft in middle of crank on either side of rod bearing. Best of luck to you...

[@DangarMarine]

You definitely can't have enough odd bits of metal when it comes to presses. At the main workshop we saved every bearing race that came got pressed out in case it helped with the next job.

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mke. It felt great to be back in the workshop rather than grinding away under Renko. The effort was all worth it, but I'm glad it's done! :)

[@Swataia]

This is the right stuff, yeah! It's always nice to see one trying even if not sure will it work at the end. That's why you are taking the risk here and teaching and couraging us all to DIY! Thanks :)

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate. I figure we've got nothing to lose and plenty to learn!

[@rxcalvosa]

One piece cranks with rod caps and two piece center bearings may be somewhat primitive but they're sooo much easier to fix. I'm no outboard technician , but I can rebuild a Merc '44' on my kitchen table. (I've done it)

[@joekahno]

I see you like doing things the hard way. When I split a Yamaha twin crank years ago I used a couple short bolts with long nuts as a pair of mini screw jacks

[@DangarMarine]

Would be interesting to try that.

[@johnfrank1509]

Great to have you back! My favorite outboard mad scientist.

[@JlerchTampa]

I did this same thing for a 70hp, Yamaha. Like you I had to mod my press to get the crank to fit, I also should have worn earplugs while pressing it apart! BTW, putting the wrist pin needle bearings back in were a PITA!

[@DangarMarine]

The needle bearins sure can be a pain, but I do like that technique of laying them on the bench, coating the gudgeon pin in grease and rolling it over them. That seemed to work well with the Evinrude.

[@jimlane6717]

Absolutely love the barefoot welding nothing dodgy there!

[@gordonagent7037]

Stu, bloody good to see you on the tools and working on the outboards. You need to get a set of land tools mate.

[@DangarMarine]

Definitely. When Renko is back I'm going to go through the boat and figure out what should live there and what should live in the workshop. I think there will be a few bits and pieces that I'll need two of but that can happen over time.

i live in SA so no probs about Funnel Webs hiding in my gloves, but I still squash them down regardless. A red back bite, or what I think is possibly worse, a white tail bite is not something I want to deal with. So totally in agreement about glove and boot checking. Also for Brown snakes, especially baby ones which I've known to get into boots, when I was clearing land on Eyre Peninsular

[@patronan3423]

Hey mate just wondering why you want to push the pin out why not push just the first crank disk off the big end pin I stead of trying to push both at the same time

[@DangarMarine]

That makes sense as you would have half the resistance. For some reason it never occurred to me to just support the top web similar to the top bearing and then just press the crank down. Doh! Oh well, I’ll give that a shot when I get home again and see how it goes. Thanks!

[@luckydubeinrc5165]

all propper tools, even the tea cup is a propper one, no mickey mouse stuff :) love it...

[@dtnicholls1]

That looks like a fun little nightmare! Gonna have a hell of a time lining it all back up. Also, when you're pressing hit it with a hammer. The impact tends to reduce the force needed and helps prevent the thing from taking your head off when it finally does decide to move.

[@DangarMarine]

Yes, the alignment is going to be very challenging. I've never done this job before but I'm keep to give it a try. Looks like you can buy the whole assembly for not much money so at least I have a bailout plan if it doesn't go so well. Good tip about giving it a tap!

[@mp6756]

I don't weld often but when I do I also go barefoot. Much less chance of slag dropping in you shoes. Safety first I always say

[@DangarMarine]

Exactly!

[@robstirling3173]

Hi Stu, It's likely that the big end crankpins have a shoulder, and so won't press straight through the webs. Can you fit your press platen between the webs, so that you are supporting the outer web only? Once reassembled, you will need to spin the whole crankshaft between centres, to check the runout on the main bearings, and nudge it into alignment by holding it in one hand, giving it a healthy tap on the crank web with a copper mallet, then back into the centres to re-check the alignment to within a thou.

You want to be careful Stu, squashing the fingers of those gloves. I hear that just pisses the funnel webs off and they scurry out, slap you across the face twice with the glove and scurry back in and bite you through the leather :)

Best answer? A single engine boat Kicker motor or just your radio? Different for everyone for sure. I’m in a smallcuddy cabin with a 5.0 Volvo penta just on in land freshwater lakes,but I am going to be going to the saltwater of Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest this summer. Thoughts? On Renko you had bad weather what would you do if engine quits and your genius could not get it going. You have the red dewarf.

[@DangarMarine]

If the engine quit I would use the anchor or sea drogue then get in the radio if it wasn’t an easy fix.

[@markaoslo5653]

The last time I was on the North Willamette River, was in a Chaparral boat, with a Volvo Penta, probably a 5 liter also. Good times (20-years ago)! Cheers-

[@peterhancox5268]

I suspect your press needs to be up around 25 tonnes, I seem to remember this sort of number from a Rotax crank I had a go at.

[@DangarMarine]

I'll have a go at just pressing the top web off first and if that doesn't work I'll take it in to the big press.

I used to live in Southern Thailand and made the mistake of leaving my shoes outside on the porch and not checking them before I put my foot in, it's the kind of mistake you only make once ! I recognised the feel of snakeskin immediately because I used to keep them and I was able to remove my foot without harming it but I felt a very slight scratch along the inside edge of my foot as I was pulling it out. I didn't know what kind of snake it was at the time but it was very slender and about as long as my forearm with broad black and white bands from head to toe, turned out to be a cobra which there were many of in the area ! That 'very slight scratch' on the inside edge of my foot almost cost me my leg, lesson learned !

[@dtnicholls1]

Deadly serious. Would be no fun at all to be hit by a funnel web, red back etc or a snake, centipede or scorpion etc in your boots. Haven't been bit myself but I have found the odd scorpion and redback in my boots. Redbacks at home, scorpions out camping. People very rarely die from getting bitten by our native wildlife, we've got a pretty good hospital system and antivenin. Even so, not at all happy times. Mostly it's cows and horses that will kill you here. Hot tip: keep your boots in your swag. Just not the head end.

I am fully prepared to say a very very stupid thing ...has anyone gone over the average motor as if there is a good chance that its not the perfect design? It just seems to me that the basic motor is an old design and what might keep it alive is "parts". so there could be a better design but it would cost too much because most of the parts would have to be fabricated instead of just ordered.

[@DangarMarine]

In this case it is mostly me that is not the perfect design, but I would also say that just about every machine on Earth could probably be better. I've often thought about building an outboard motor that is designed from the ground up to be serviced by the average person away from specialist shops but I fear I may have left it too late with electric taking over.
