If you plan on doing a lot of engines definitely get a bearing puller. Otherwise i use heat on the bearing so it expands, try holding it in the vise and use a plastic hammer on the crankshaft, or a regular hammer with a piece of wood so you dont damage the shaft. Depending on the crankshaft you might get away with a pulley puller aswell. If all that fails I try to find someone with a press 🤣
@@VintageGarageYT thank you so much! I’m trying to rebuild a RD60 and your videos are such a great resource and inspiration!! If I ever complete the project, I’ll send you some pics. I thinking of replacing the bearings, seals. I don’t know if I should hone my cylinder and refinish my piston. The piston pin is super tight. Biggest worry is me spending $$$ and then not able to start and seize it right away.
@@allahdaniel212 I'm glad my videos can help you! Best thing is to measure everything. Measure the cylinder,piston, set the ring gaps en start with a slightly rich mixture. It won't seize right away. You would really have to mess something up badly for it to seize right away.
@@allahdaniel212 they can be stuck on there sometimes. Try heating the inside part of the flywheel a little. And when the puller is under tension, give it some love taps with a rubber mallet. Dont heat it too much though, because that can destroy the magnets
I had trouble loosing 3 of these kut-screws on the rotating disk cover of my fs1 2ru. I cut a sleeve in them with a angle grinder and whilst they where still hot i got them out with a big flat screw driver. 😂
@@vivianbond7449 The ball bearing is in there. It's mentioned in the video and in the rebuild video aswell. Where did you find that Haynes manual? I might get one aswell, for future reference.
How did you get the bearing off the crankshaft that was stuck right next to the counter weight?

What’s the size of the pulley puller you used to remove the flywheel? I bought a puller set but want to be sure
@@allahdaniel212 M27x1 is the thread size. This is the puller;

@@VintageGarageYT I give up on the flywheel. I used two different puller but it wouldn’t come off. It’s like that thing is welded or something

Haha yes I've done that as well before 🤣. But you need to have access with the angle grinder of course! I also have a fs1 2RT 😉
I think in that shaft there was meant to be a small ball bearing because look in the Haynes manual books sir
Which shaft do you mean?
@@VintageGarageYT the cluch shaft mate where the rod go thou mate
Please look in the Haynes book because the man put the ball bearing in the shaft to mate
@@VintageGarageYT page 53 mate in a Dt50 Haynes manual the man put a ball bearing and shaft then the cluch push rod mate
