Good effort Neighbour.. The crank should be left in the freezer over night to shrink it.. The inner diameter of the bearing only should be heated to make it larger.. Bellhopper has a great method to quickly heat the inner diameter with a piece of hot steel rod.. I use his method all the time works great, parts just 'fall' together.. Looking forward to part two Matthew...
Ya I usually store my crank overnight, I am interested to see that method you should see if you can find me the link that would be awesome to see and try!!! Part 2 is uploading now.
@@chainsawredeemer85 Hi again, It's one of the 'Bellhoppers' go to methods, many of his videos feature it. Have a look, his channel is a great learning resource, loads of machine shop action... He fixes loads of Chit that others won't tackle.... Thanx for your reply...
@@chainsawredeemer85 ummm a home made tool... Threaded rod with a RH and LH thread drilled/tap on each end for the crank. Add a spacer with a couple of nuts for the threaded rod and pull the crank through the bearing. Or use the good old fashioned cold crank and hot bearing.. NOT hot crank.. Heat expands metal BTW. I also hope you took the load off the bearings after doing that with a brass hammer.
Yes I know heat expands metal, sometimes I say things backwards, remember I have dyslexia. The saw is running and performing well. I do the best I can with what I have, The mechanic I did this for approved the process, and it is his job so I just roll with it. I do nto have the ability to make such a homemade tool, used to but still trying to work on having all of the tools and machines I used to. Will get there eventually.
