FYI the service manual says to "hit the end of the puller sharply with a hammer". So not love taps like he did and dont pound it like its a 4 inch spike, just a solid sharp slap and it'll pop right off, and not hit the floor cause you werent being a man about it. Hope that helps.

Somehow hammering laterally across the bearing in the crank is less damaging then rotational force from an impact. I strongly disagree.

@user-yq6zd6be5y8 ай бұрын
Use heat before hitting. All that hammer banging is directly putting force on the crank bearings! Never hit! Best heat is with a hot air gun. Apply torque, then heat.

@longtinmotorsports8 ай бұрын
I Would get the puller backed out however you can. Then use the water method to remove the clutch. I've got a video showing how to do that. Probably be tricky to get the puller threaded out of the clutch, but unless you want to damage the clutch or crank, you'll want to find a way.

I have first hand horrible experience with the bdx kit. The biggest problem is that they think there stupid oilight bushing is good enough when in reality when you block the bottom oilier off on the case you cut off all lubrication to the oil pump driveshaft gear and over time your shaft will start to eat away at the bushing pressed into the lower case half casing it to start vibrating taking out 1 the oil pump shaft 2 the gear on the crank itself, 3 the oil pump drivshaft bushing, 4 oil seal, 5 waterpump mechanical seal, 6 impeller. Bdx has cost me over 4k in repairs and over 4 months of down time. Id pay to kick the owner of bdx square in his fucking teeth

How stiff should the pin be in the bushings and still rotate? It takes a little bit of force to lift the weight and turn the pin on my clutch.
@longtinmotorsports Жыл бұрын
a little resistance is fine. the orings on either side of the pin are what cause that. The weights will not "flop" up and down like they did in the old style 6 towers and 9 tower clutches. because these weights are set-screwed to the pin, and the pin has the o-rings on either side, there will be a little force required to move the weight. This is OK!

He doesn't want to rattle the crank with an impact, but is willing to pound on the puller with a hammer. I have been pulling Comets with the impact for 20 years, and rarely do they come hard, never have I beat on my puller with a hammer or used heat. Zip and they are off. I do not use an impact pulling flywheels, I feel that is a different situation.
@longtinmotorsports Жыл бұрын
Really no different actually. But hey, you're the expert. 🤣
@user-yq6zd6be5y8 ай бұрын
An impact gun only applies impact in a circular motion not impacting crank bearings. Hammering end of puller definitely is a no no that directly puts all applied forces of hammer into crank and doing damage.

@longtinmotorsports Жыл бұрын
All you'll hear are horror stories on the internet. I'm not trying to tell you a good bearing isn't better. But we've had pretty good luck with a $2 bearing. We were also swapping tracks in and out almost every weekend so it was easy to check a bearing and replace it while we were at it. If it's your trail sled and you don't want to touch it every few hundred miles, go out and buy the $30 bearings.
