What do you guys think? I blew the front bearing on my crank. The rest of the crank seems absolutely perfect. Can I just have that one end bearing pressed on, or is that shady. I can not find any other flaws in the crank. We allready removed the one bad bearing.
Thanks for your help.

???????????????????????????????? i would be afraid myself deeg. one top end gone, a new one to be done, and no damage to the cases. i would be mega nervous about the others having stresses and weakspots , i say if you can , get a new one and be certain this new top end will give you a couple years

just my 2 cents and a touch of egocentracism too. need to make sure i have peeps to ride with, if you got to tear down and rebuild yet again that is 2 more weeks maybe off the water this summer

I've done it on a 650Kaw and it lasted 2 seasons. Use a press.

Make sure theres NO up and down play on the rod. Then your fine.

My front 750 bearing was noisy, changed it and the rear cause they are cheap. If everything else checks out, run it.
