Cleaning; Inspection (Disassembled Engine); Assembly - Rotax 2005 717 RFI Engine Shop Manual

Close puller claws so that they can be inserted
in end bearing. Holding claws, turn puller shaft
clockwise so that claws open and become firmly
tight against bearing.
Slide puller hammer outwards and tap puller end.
Retighten claws as necessary to always maintain
them tight against bearing. Continue this way un-
til bearing completely comes out.

Rotary Valve Shaft
Refer to table below to find dimension specifica-
tions. For measurement procedures, refer to EN-
GINE MEASUREMENT section.
MEASUREMENT
Rotary valve shaft
deflection
Gear
Visually check gear wear pattern. It should be
even on tooth length all around. Otherwise it
could indicate a bent shaft, check deflection.
Replace gear if damaged.
Check for presence of brass filings in gear hous-
ing.
Bearings
Inspect bearings no. 8 and no. 9. Check for scor-
ing, pitting, chipping or other evidence of wear.
Make sure plastic cage (on bigger bearing) is not
melted. Rotate them and make sure they turn
smoothly.

ASSEMBLY

Assembly is essentially the reverse of disassem-
bly procedures. However pay particular attention
to the following.
End Bearing
To install end bearing no. 9 in crankcase, use push-
er (P/N 420 876 501).
