<DIV>I need to correct an error I made last night (should not post when I'm tired). The YS 140 crank has three steps machined in it. The first step does indeed go through the front bearing. The next step in the crank should butt up agianst the rear side of the inner race of the front bearing. The inner race of the front bearing gets trapped between the the retainer and the second step in the crank. When the retainer is slipped onto the crank, the front of the retainer should be even with the first step in the crank. It would be much easier to show than it is to describe, I hope I was clear.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If the crank gets hard to turn when you install the drive washer on the retainer, the bearings are not fully seated, and you do risk damaging the bearings by applying too much thrust load on them. When installed properly, there is no load on the bearings.<BR><BR><B><I>Ihncheol Park <PatternFlyer@msn.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV>
