Ignition side of crankcase
Take care not to damage the
crankshaft stub.
– Heat the inner bearing race to
about 160°C
(320°F).
: Position the tapered stub of the
crankshaft (arrow) above the ball
bearing at the ignition side and
push it home.
This operation must be carried out
very quickly because heat is
absorbed by the crankshaft, and the
inner bearing race shrinks.
