Full Version: time for new crank
my 05 is do for a bottom end and i was wondering if there was any do-it-yourself'ers out there that have split the case and dove in. is there any special tools needed or any tips i could use. i know i should quit being such a cheap bastard but the nearest bike shop is 2 hrs away and theyre 50 bucks an hr.
Its actually pretty simple!
get yourself a service manual!
A flywheel puller!
A penny to use as a gear holder!
And you will be set! i just tore mine down a couple days ago! Nothing to it!!

Take plenty of pictures. It will help tremendously putting her back together.
