i have been trying to move my Phoenix crank from one crankcase to another.
It was a right job to get the old bearings out, and even harder to get them on
The biggest issue seemed to be getting both front bearings onto the end of the crank, and they needed some help (of the heavy kind) to get in. The other end wasn't exactly easy.
I had the use of a hot air gun, but no thermometer. About 4 mins moving around to get some expansion.
Two qeustions:
1. Am I likely to heave ruined these bearings having to knock them in, and do I need to start over.
2. If yes, please can anyone offer the best of advice to achieve the desired result. All tips, secret recipes welcome.
Love the new forum.
