ok, so how the heck, I basically put it in my grill to get it apart, but even at 400*F the bearing is not wanting to come off... it's so slim between the crank center thing that holds the rod and the bearing I don't even know if I can get a bearing puller in there :confused: any good suggestions? we took it apart a few weeks ago, I swapped cases and couldn't get the bearing out even after torching it. so just put it back together. it was hard to start and ran crappy missing like and stuff. changed tops too, so it could be that I suppose, just assumed it was the bearing I torched :devil: so I have it apart again and can't get the bearing off AGAIN... my buddy has a bearing pulled so I may try it but I don't think it fits.. I can't even wedge a large flat head screw driver in there to pry at it...
I MAY put the old topend back on as this one is .5over and could be part of the issue.. the other one was all scoured but ran good really, revved out and just screamed... dunno, I want to change the bearing regardless...
edit: I think I'm gonna throw it in the freezer overnight after it cools down...
don't know what else to do. if that doesn't work, I'm taking it to a machine shop and just have them do it... pita pos. can't wait to get rid of this bike lol. no more stupid design of using the motor as the swingarm for me thanks...
