bearings

[Ballen]

What is the best way to get the front bearings out of a 3.3 . it has been a while.

Heat the crankcase up to 250 degrees and whack it on a board to pop out the rear one, then just push the front one out with a dowel/hammer with a few light taps. Make sure to take off the carb, take out the piston/sleeve/crank first.

Hudy also makes a sweet tool for removing and replacing engine bearings but its a little pricey

I was wrong i ment the rear bearing i know you have to heat up the case but how do you pull the bearing out no where to tap on it trx 3.3

Tap the flat part of the crankcase where the backplate mounts on a board and the bearing will fall out.
