Replacing XTZ660 Crankshaft bearings
Hi,
I have taken apart the engine of my XTZ660 to clean and paint the crankcases which were badly corroded and give it a service at the same time.
I have split the crankcases and removed the crankshaft. I notice that the bearing on the left side has some wear in it and would like to replace it. However first I must remove the small gear which sits beside the bearing on the crankshaft. I presume this is an extremely tight fit and would need some heat to remove it.
The bearing on the right hand side is straightforward to replace.
Has anyone done this procedure and what technique did they use to remove that small drive gear.
I have access to a good engineering workshop which helps.
