[QUOTE="barryadam, post: 929221, member: 46015"] Any advice on pressing in new bearings into the cases? I'm in the process of replacing the cases on the '01 KX500 (drain plug repair) with some nice new ones. On disassembly of the old cases, I see the crank seals have to be installed from the inside, before the bearings are installed. In addition, the main bearings are seated in a cast iron insert in the case. I've only done this procedure once before, and it was a small motor with no cast iron. The seals went in from the outside, so I could heat the cases in the oven/freeze the bearings, and assemble, THEN put in the seal. Then by freezing the crank assembly, I could install the crank and assemble the case halves. Obviously, I can't follow that procedure here. Also, the clutch actuator bearings (2) look like a bit of a challenge to install correctly. Anyone done these specific bearings/seals sucessfully on this application (KX500)? Got any advice or special tools? Barry [/QUOTE]
