jeepwm69 7,619 Posted March 16, 2022 Picked up a rear end and swingarm from @shadetree today. As usual, he took good care of me. Glad we have the community we do here. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKATV 823 Posted March 16, 2022 Wow I’ve never seen one that stuck before but glad you were able to get it off without damaging the crank I’ve never had the opportunity use a plasma torch before but I’ve seen them and they look pretty handy How do you cut with a plasma torch and not risk damaging/cutting into the crank? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,619 Posted March 16, 2022 Not sure how he did it. When I go there he had it off. End of the crank is a little scuffed up as you can see, but won't hurt anything. Now the old flywheel that was on there......it was torched and in burnt pieces between welding the nut to it and then cutting it off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would lap the used flywheel to the tapered end of the crank. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,619 Posted March 17, 2022 You mean put some lapping compound on the end of the crank and spin the used flywheel on there? Pull off, clean, install key, reinstall flywheel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Misterclean 421 Posted March 17, 2022 I would use fine compound and do a just a few spins while pressing it on . This will give you a good idea of how bad it may be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
