Splitting the crankcase problem - sprocket drive shaft gear clusters clings on ?

<< < (2/2)

Hi Gareth,

Thanks very much for your suggestion, it sounds like a good plan. I just wanted to be sure there wasn't any mechanical fasteners I had overlooked before resulting to any force that may cause damage.

I will pour a little cellulose thinners around the seal and give it a minute or two to soak, which should soften any Sealant that may be around the seal and bearing.

I noticed when I was removing some of the casing bolts they were extra tight to rotate, even when the initial "crack" of movement had happened. On full removal I found the whole of the threaded area was almost "loctighted" with excessive Hondabond that must have run down into the threaded alloy casting. This was quite noticeable when trying to remove the bolts, almost like a torsion bar feel.

Cheers  ;)

Dennis

Thanks for your replies Guys,

The Shafts have now dropped into the upper casing after releasing the sealant and the casings have come apart.

Please see my next post on "CAUTION with sizing your shell bearings on the crank", for the results so far of my findings.

Cheers

Dennis
