MAG SIDE CRANKCASE BEARING SERVICE
Bearing Removal
1. Support the crankcase and drive, press, or extract
the balance shaft bearing
w
with a blind bearing
remover.
IMPORTANT
The MAG side crankshaft plain bearing
q
is not
serviceable. Crankcase replacement is required if the
bearing is damaged or has excessive wear. The
crankshaft is reusable if it meets specifications and
MAG side bearing surface is not groved, pitted,
damaged or excessively worn.
Due to extremely close tolerances and minimal wear,
the bearings must be inspected visually, and by feel.
Look for signs of discoloration, scoring or galling. Turn
the inner race of each bearing. The bearings should
turn smoothly and quietly. The outer race of each
bearing should fit tightly in the crankcase. The inner
race should be firm with minimal side to side movement
and no detectable up and down movement.
Bearings are stressed during the removal process
and must not be re-used!
