Last week I purchsed a C6 BBT and installed it in my Losi 8T and the clutch bearings didn't go onto the cran easily. It took a little bit of work which included some light tapping on the bearing it self.
When I went to clean the engine after this weekend the bearings didn't want to come off easily. I got the front bearing off by pulling on the clutch bell but the rear bearing was a real pain. I tried heating the bearing and crank and taking a flat headed screw driver and prying underneath the bearing against the Losi flywheel. Well it took me 15 minutes and now I have a bent flywheel and a destroyed bearing. I had to basically beak the bearing into its parts to remove it. I went to rebuild the clutch and once again its kinda difficult to install the bearings so I stopped this time. THe crank where the bearings ride with my digital calipers reads anywhere froom 4.98 to 5.02 depending on how much pressure I put on the calipers. Any help would be appreciated thanks. These particular rack of bocca bearings I have been using on three other different mils with no problem.
