Bearing Removal
1. Support the crankcase and drive, press, or extract
the balance shaft bearing
remover.
NOTICE
The MAG side crankshaft plain bearing
serviceable. Crankcase replacement is required if the
bearing is damaged or has excessive wear. The
crankshaft is reusable if it meets specifications and
MAG side bearing surface is not groved, pitted,
damaged or excessively worn.
IMPORTANT
Due to extremely close tolerances and minimal wear,
the bearings must be inspected. Look for discoloration,
scoring or galling. The inner race of each bearing
should turn smoothly and quietly. The outer race of
each bearing should fit tightly in the crankcase. The
inner race should be firm with minimal side to side
movement and no detectable up and down movement.
Bearings are stressed during the removal process and
must not be re-used!
