Change bearing on crankshaft

[malte]

Hi all,

I killed the front bearing of my crankshaft (701, 62T). Got another broken crankshaft wehre that bearing is fine. Any ideas how I can change that bearing? I have access to a press.

Think I'll have to get a new crankshaft soon but now I want to get back on the water asap...

Thanks!

Save that kinda work for the professionals.

You can remove the bearing with a bearing splitter, also better called bearing separator.You might be able to rent a puller kit. Pic of separator: www.amazon.com/OTC-1123-Bearing-Splitter-4-5/dp/B0002SR46I

Does pressing a bearing back on the crank take the crank out of true?

No, it does not! You may change the front or rear bearing.
