PIAGGIO SILENT BLOCK REMOVAL

[@leescoey]

My bike was a piaggio typhoon 125 2014 they are from 2010 to 2016 they are an absolute pain in the arse to get out also the 4 needle bearings what link the engine to the frame (subframe) are a nightmare too you need to order the long spacers as well as they severely wear as well the needle bearings x4 was hk1514-rs which were cheaper off ebay but i ordered the long spacers and engine mounts from fowlers ps it will take you a full afternoon and a lot of patience to do this job i am glad this guy did a vid on how to get the 2 engine bushes out as you could easily crack the engine case if just let loose with hammer

Thanks for your comments, it really helps everyone. (sorry for my late reply)

[@leescoey]

@@richardstamper5630 it sure helped me i should of done a video of the 4 subframe bearings to help others as that was a pain as well

[@fyreblade1262]

Ca you please give me a hand on the tool? I would love to make this. I need it for my Aprillia to remove the bushes. Is it a m14 bolt? Washers etc? Please I need your help

[@royshahar4106]

Great video thank you🙂 After a night in the freezer does it go in easily? Or is there another way?

[@richardstamper5630]

No, these are an interference fit, they need to be pressed in so sticking them in the freezer knocks a few thou off of the diameter and just makes the process a little easier.. You have to be ready to move quickly once taken out of the fridge so get everything ready. Mine slipped in real easy but be careful how you use a hammer otherwise you will damage the casing. Let us know how you get on.

Hi, great video. Thinking about the tools to use to extract outer ring in a more easy way (inner bearing ring pulley for example). Does any one know the inner diameter of outer ring in mm? Thanks in advance

[@buboy071]

your video is very helpful sir. thank you.

[@richardstamper5630]

Thanks for your kind comment - appreciated.

[@buboy071]

By the way can i just pry it with small chisel while punching it upward or downward instead and not using saw that will leave a cut on the other side?

[@richardstamper5630]

@@buboy071 It's possible but the casing for the silent block is fairly strong, my concern is that you might damage the crankcase casing. My idea was to put a cut in that silent block so as to weaken it. I think you have to do what you think is best but keep in mind it's only aluminium?

What do you mean with 'I ground the socket'?

Really helpful video

Thank you for this video! It's helps a lot!

Thanks - if it helps someone then it's all been worth it. Rich

[@jolanc3]

Could you please tell me how you put the new ones in thank you

[@fyreblade1262]

Hey mate, did you put the new one's in? easy?

[@tonyosman9548]

Hi rich is the silent block on a piaggio fly 24mm diameter thanks

[@richardstamper5630]

That I don't know but if you look on Fowler parts UK they have detailed diagrams and part numbers, you should be able to cross reference as many of those parts are common. Rich

Great video!

[@perrys9872]

I’m gonna do this tomorrow 😅 yay 😖

[@richardstamper5630]

Good luck to you - it will no doubt involve a bit of swearing but otherwise fairly rewarding.

[@perrys9872]

Does this solve the problem that the tire is worn out at the left side ?

[@richardstamper5630]

Yes possibly - if the drive train isn't sitting straight it will wear tyres unevenly. Put the bike on its stand, step well back and take a look, is the wheel sitting straight? Also check its lateral position, you could try running a straight edge from the back wheel to the front, do both tyres line up perfectly. Finally, grab the rear wheel when its on the stand, can you move it out of position left and right. If yes then take a look at your engine mounts and the silent blocks

[@perrys9872]

Richard Stamper I think it’s better to change the blocks and subframe? Or only blocks?

[@richardstamper5630]

@@perrys9872 There is no subframe, the silent blocks locate onto the chassis of the bike. Once you remove the single side engine mount and the rod through the silent block the engine will fall out.

[@perrys9872]

Richard Stamper i got a Kymco agility 50 I got a subframe and blocks

[@richardstamper5630]

@@perrys9872 OK, not familiar with the Kymco but I am sure it all fairly similar

[@I_am_BiG_Al]

Just smash it out with a socket from the other side with some heat on it

[@vkhlopine]

nope the other side has a lip and you would know it it you tried it yourself at least once
